The bow slammed too far forward and that separated wood at the knot, not compressed. So no, not a chrysal. Its a tear. IMO.

Could be right.  Would be easy to check.  Stress that area a little and it should open up the "tear".

I would much rather that it broke from momentary stupidity on my part than a fault in my tillering. The patch turned out good and I have pulled it to 28" but I'll let the epoxy cure for a day or so before I shoot it a bunch.

Yep, that is what I was talking about.
