The story continues... After returning from Germany and been shooting with that bamboo backed bow all autumn I found starting failure point on the first knot from the handle on the lower limb. So, the bow was forced to retire. In another chain I presented a build-along of two TD bows which, unfortunately, both failed. The aim was to make easy-to-travel-by-airplane-bows. Now I decided to cancel the retirement of this bow and I'm going to fix that small failure with glue and wrap string over that spot and seal it with epoxy. Then, after some test shooting and if the bow works fine, I'll cut the bow and convert it to TD. This time I'm trying to avoid damaging the fibers of the bamboo back to have better possibilities to have properly working bow. More in the coming couple of weeks.
By the way, the two other bows from this triplet are still working fine and I'm primarily using them now.
