I was having a bad day anyway. I rear ended a car on the way to archery.

The bow shot well, but I thought, I'd improve the arrow pass, ease off the tip of the upper limb and lose a pound or two to give it a bit of safety factor.
Now 25" seemed like a reasonable safety factor until it went BANG!

Maybe it'll make 'Smashed BOM ?'
So to sumarise, not a great weekend, my team Porthsmouth lost the FA cup (I was there), I pranged the car and smashed my bow.
But hey, it was experimental...and cheaper than the car repair.

Never mind, I'll have a nice cup of tea!
