A friend called and said his son just bought this BW bow off another friend, the son hung it on a wall, his dog knocked it off and it hit a cindeblock on the way to the floor.

I am a selfbow guy and not up on laminated bow repairs, this looks bad to me.

Anybody know someone who could fix this bow?

OOPS double post, I forgot to resize the picture and didn't think this post went through but it did.

Looks to me like it can be; not a lot of stress there. If you can lift it a little and get it saturated with epoxy and clamp it down for a few days I think you'll be in business.

Hard to tell exactly from a picture but: It don't look to be over a 1/4 deep. There should be very little to no flex there. I believe a repair would hold. Use a slow setting epoxy & force in with something like a putty knife. Clam snug to force out the excess but no tighter than to just get it closed all the way. If the cracks are not big enough & it will close up tightly use a good super glue. >>>-----> Ken

Yes, It is an easy fix. Send it to Black Widow.

The dad contacted BW, the bow is headed that way.
