Longbow repair

My newish longbow has delaminated and cracked across the middle laminate. Does anyone know if it's worth getting this fixed and if so where I could send it. Or should I just let it rest in pieces. Thanks

How new is it?

Most decent bowyer's give you a staggered warranty (for example, 100% payback for first 2 months, 80% for the next 2 months, etc).

Might be worth getting in touch with them if it's under 12 months old? If nothing else you can find out if it is repairable.

Mr Bickerstaffe has fixed my older bow twice now, still shoots better than I can! Definitely worth asking. Don't shoot it in the meantime (obvious, really!)

Thanks for your replies. My bow is just over a year old. Have contacted the bowyer and he will have a look at it on return from his holidday.
Hopefully it can be saved, but I'm not sure.
