I know that usual opinion is, 'tough it's dead', but I have access to some pretty hi-tech adhesives, and just wondered if a repair can be made.
Any thoughts or experiences?
P.s. Please don't flame me for buying unseen, I'm pretty sure it is transit damage, and the bow was cheap. |
Do you have a photo or digram of what sort of de-lamination, I.E, on the edges, on the bend of the re-curve etc. I do have a friend that has fixed this sort of damage when such bows were new.
But generally, the prognosis is not good.
A good contact to ask would be Keith Gascoine, of K G Archery, google him for a contact. He was the designer and maker of these bows, as an employee of marksman in the 70s
