Well as they say if you ain't breaking them you ain't making them. This was the bow from the post before where I had mentioned that a splinter had risen due to not rounding the corners well when finishing.
I am including the full draw pick in this post so that if anyone can spot an issue with tiller.

As you can see the bow is wrapped on the bottom limb where the splinter had risen. when fixing the limb it had seemed very superficial to me. I sanded and proceeded to wrap the limb where the splinter was. however it did not hold.

it seems that the splinter reopened and spread down limb which caused a week point and raised the other splinter above it ( bottom in picture ).

The first problem i can already tell from removing the wrap is the serving string did not soak up the glue as well as i thought it did. while it was hard to cut it took no effort at all to remove as it was dry. Also i did not remove finish so glue did not stick to wood as well.

And here you can see the first splinter ( top ) and the new one (bottom).
This one really hurt as i have been shooting it almost everyday and have been putting some serious arrows through it.
lessons learned1 don't neglect the basics a clean back with rounded corners should never be ignored.
2 if your gonna wrap a splinter make sure you do it right and take your time.
3 a splinter in a hunting situation can be fixed with a simple wrap and should last you a couple hundred shots even with such a bad wrap as mine.
