| Broken limb I have a W&W Trigger :36lbs@28", 68" long. Or at least I did until last night. I was shooting surprisingly well in the persisting rain, when the bow went "Doi-oi-oi-oi-oi-oink", and shuddered back and forth a bit. Then Mrs Uller noticed the string lying at my feet. The re-inforce on the upper string-nock had broken off and the chisel-edged limb-end that it covers had cut the string loop. The limb itself was also damaged, so I've pronounced it dead. The lower limb did something similar, but not as bad, just over a year ago. It was repaired, but the repair started cracking a couple of weeks ago. Two dead limbs, not made any more.
Anyway, to the point - moving on from such a bow, what do you recommend? I'm a middle-of-the-road, once-a-week archer, so I'm not going for something at the top of anyone's range. I just want something a little better, with a similar grip width and ILF. I know the real answer is go and try some bows, so to that end, as I'll be in Yorkshire soon, I'll drop in on Aardvark.
The good bit: the arrow went with the rest of the group proving Uller's point that once the arrow is gone, what happens at the bow is irrelevant.
