Hey Josh,
Bummer on the tough day. It seems we are not alone in havin them ::)

I am envious of the shooting day you all got. Snow here is over to my daughters head (no joke at all) and we are single digits and negative zero overnight at least until March.

I been itchin to get outdoors more and the kids are gettin VERY squirrely. They seem to think I'm a tree to climb all over  ;D

Those are some cool quivers those younguns' have there! No better way to salvage a bad day than shooting with the kids!

thanks for sharing your trouble Josh. It is nice to know Gun Doc has bad days too.  I just had frets developed on a cascara hollow limb design I put a lot of time into.

Thanks fellas!  Shooting with my kids definitely lifted my spirits.   Hey Carson,  did you take any pics of those frets?  I'm still trying to get my head wrapped around how the HLD distributes the tension and compression forces.  Pics of frets and failures will tell a lot in that regard.  Josh

Yes Sir!  That's the view I've taken on the matter.  I eventually realized it was a gentle nudge towards getting my priorities straight.

Yeah, sometimes you just have to get out and go shooting with the kids.   :)

Here are those frets.  Not very good pics.  This is right out of the fade just handle side of a spot I left a little stiff.   :(

Interestingly the frets wrap around to the back of the bow too.  My first mistake was attempting this design with cascara.   ::)

Thanks for the pics Carson!   I appreciate it.   Your pics and Simson's pics are showing nearly identical stress failures.  My original hypothesis on how the design works was no where near to even close to accurate.  It looks to me as though the HLD has some limitations as to how far around the sides can wrap.   That's good to know.  Thanks again!  Josh
