Welcome BO7. Is it an all-wood bow or does it have glass? My experience with all wood bows is that they can almost never be satisfactorily repaired because it throws the tiller out. However, we have folks who visit here who know a truckload more about it than me, but they will need a good, clear, close-up photo to make an analysis. Good luck … and you can, at the worst, enjoy the pleasures of shopping for a new bow. 😆

Thanks I will have to work on getting pictures on here. Also a question I am looking at replacing the bow with a recurve and don’t know where to start I was thinking of going with a martin takedown as it is a bit cheaper as I don’t know where to start any thoughts and suggestions would be helpful thanks
What I do know is I would like a smooth consistent drawing bow that dose not load the weight up when I draw it

My standard advice in this instance has remained unchanged for years: You are FAR better off buying a used custom bow than a new factory bow, as it will be both cheaper and a better-made tool.
Others will have more specific questions. Also, to expand your choices don’t neglect to check out the new species of deflex/reflex longbows, which pretty much offer all the same advantages of a recurve–smooth draw, no hand shock, good speed, no stacking, etc. The two designs are so equivalent in performance these days that it mostly comes down to the shooter’s preference in how a bow looks.
