My patch is made the way they are supposed to be, like this ), the edges are feathered so they can bend with the bow.

Unconfuse me please. That patch sure looked like it's on the back of the handle. Your first post said the problem was on the belly, and your first photos looked like the problem was not near the handle... Whassup?

My support for the plug was based only on this being a failure of the belly. If that's the back, I'm now forecasting catastrophic failure.

There is nothing wrong with being gun shy, it goes to show that u care about this project enough to be cautious.

Well good news

I will continue to shoot it in if it makes it final tiller !i will keep ya all posted good or bad.once again thank you all for the help and ideas,that is one of the reasons that this is such a great site to be involved with

Good news, hope it works out for yall. Never figured why anyone would take this stuff personal,lots of way to skin a cat.

I happen to be blessed with wood so I almost always go with the simple/quick fix or cook with it.

Man needs fire also.

Very nice save Soy.

Soybean, that is the butt uggliest fix I have ever seen. It is verging on offensive, it is so "cosmetically challenged".

So if it works, I'm gonna love it! We primitive archer types just seem to be drawn to the ugly wood, why is that?

If it works, it will be the most beautiful patch ever! Especially in your eyes, right Soy?

We have got some scraping done on her and have had 4 sessions with50 pulls between sets and so far have shot 100 arrows @26"draw ...have to work it to 28"a few times and at least 50more shots and than it is ready for finishing ...i will post pics than, once again thanks for all the input

I finally got to shoot ol' patch. And shoot and shoot and shoot some more. That is one fine bow. Thanks Soy! The pic makes the tiller look funny because it was taken from a bit of a rearward angle to show the patch. However I can assure you that the tiller is on and this bow shoots great! Thanks again Soy, Josh
