I believe splicing two good limbs together at the handle would be a better option. Or possible make a take down with a sleeve at the handle. You can make a take down sleeve with a 4" length 1 1/4" rigid electrical conduit. You can get the conduit from any electrician. They have scraps of this stuff that they should give you.
