Actually that was me.  I hope I wasn't too visibly bummed 
out when the lower limb of my bow delaminated.  It's a 
really good Hoyt Polaris Olympic Style target recurve.  
It shoots really sweet and those 30 pound limbs were 
great for beginners so I often had the 30 lb. limbs on 
and would often loan it out.

Fortunately I still have a set of 40 lb. limbs that I 
shoot that bow with.  Unfortunately, they haven't made 
the Polaris in years and you can't get replacement limgs 
anymore so I no longer have a really nice bow that 
beginners can easily use and gain confidence with.

Remember we do have monthly practices here in Gate's Edge 
accompanied by a pot-luck lunch.  The next practice is 
August 19 (recently rescheduled from Aug. 12).  Please 
come join us.  If you don't have your bow unpacked I 
don't think you will have much trouble drawing that same 
bow with the 40 lb. limbs and I am looking to aquire a 
couple of good loaner bows before then.
Regards,

Eadric
