I started cutting shelves into my bows because I found it easier for newbies and kids to shoot (otherwise they get too discouraged). I epoxy a small strip on the belly of the handle, fade to fade. strip on the back is good too. i only use epoxy now. I tried weldbond and it seemed ok until the temperature dropped to freezing, then the glue failed completely.

Take the wrap off an THOUGHOULY inspect. Can't be too careful.





after inspection if you are still anxious about it glue a lam on the bows back  from fade to fade and then rasp it down and finish, a little added protection and it looks sharp
