It's obvious from the photo that the gravitational force from that beard played a major role in that break. 

Buy a razor hippie.

Here is one that blew while I was drawing. This bow had over 1000 arrows through her. She was thin ringed osage with a rawhide backing and the tiger stripe tissue paper covering. It was late one night. Me and Evan Williams were discussing draw length and I pulled her 1" over my draw when she blew...and I mean blew!   


This is her when I first built her...

I have most of my blow ups to Pat. Just can't seem to get them in the burn pile. Patrick

Del, Shere Khan was one of my favorites and like I said she had over 1000 shots through her. I blame it on the loco water but I did know better than to over draw her.
