Thank you for your reply. I am in Hellsgate. I have continued to
shoot the longbow in my backyard since the damage 12 yrs. ago, but
have not brought it out to a Ansteorran event because I felt it
might be deemed "unsafe" as of the damage. I shot it exclusively
in Drachenwald (pre damage). If I do the rawhide repair as the
archery shop suggested it will make the damage unviewable. Once
the rawhide is in place it cannot be removed for inspection so I
think you can understand my quandry.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Lord Eric<br>

<div>Lord Eric, </div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is not a
question that
can be answered
without
inspecting </div>
<div>the damage to
the bow. I
would find a
competent bow
maker </div>
<div>to access the
damage before
attempting any
repair. Sight </div>
<div>unseen I
would heed the
shop's
suggestion not
to try to
attempt </div>
<div>to shave or
reshape the bow
because that
would change the
</div>
<div>dynamics of
the bow and
unless you know
what you are
doing </div>
<div>you could
ruin the bow
rather than save
it. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I don't think
it would be safe
to use the bow
without having
it </div>
<div>checked out,
but I tend to
lean toward
safety first
myself. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you would
state your
location someone
with experience
</div>
<div>making bows
might volunteer
to have a look
at it for you.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>That is the
best advice I
can offer on
line without
actually </div>
<div>seeing
your bow. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards, </div>
<div> </div>
