Guess I won't use this for my trade bow but it has held up nicely so far,don't want to take a chance though :-\Thanks all for looking-Hammertime

Man do not go that route. You are shooting that bow. It is unique. I can say if you had my name, I would LOVE to get that weapon. It is unusual bows like this one that really makes the trade in my opinion.

dont get me wrong hammertime,
im not saying that you shouldnt use it for your trade bow
personally i think the limb design is cool like that

you asked why people thougt it may break
i posted what i thought the reasoning behind it would be
not saying it will fail,hell it may out last all of use
sorry if i upset you in any way,wasnt trying to  ;)

Like I said, hickory should stand it better than most woods. If you have shot it a lot there is no reason to think it will not last. I just have not got the cahones to try it myself yet. ;D I"d be happy to get that as a trade bow too.
