have osage with a crack that is all the way through it was'nt completely severed it goes from end of tip on an angle 2.5 across the tip I've super glued it, and thinking of glueing brush nocks on belly side and exagerate the length of the tips. Its 65.5 t/t, and will be a light weight bow. Think it will work? ( having trouble w/ pict.)

I had a bad tip fixed by a guy didn't have the guts to do 9t myself. I think he used 420 is what I thought he told me and around 700 shors later my 57 Kodiak still in the game. He even saved my snake skin on it for me did a great job and mine I thought was really bad.

hard to tell with out the pic,,, a tie on nock would work,, till you figure what you want

Osage is tough, glue it and shoot it.

the overlay idea could only help matters by adding strength to the tips of the bow bd
