I was out shooting this morning--Ancient Spirits Kadiak #441 60" 55@28" and it broke right in the handle. Wasn't dramatic, but it reminded me that it's a stick--glass or no.

Can anyone fix it?

That stinks... Hate when pretty bows decide to go...

Have any pics... Have a Griffen that split at the shelf... John wouldn't guarantee a fix... so I just hung it on the wall...

As you know... handles have a huge amount of stress in them... I'd be leary of any fix if its broken clear through...

Jonathan

PS... forgot... echo Dennis' thought... hope you are ok...

Oh yeah! I'm fine. It didn't explode, just a giant crack. I would like to find a way to salvage the limbs, but stuff happens

what part of the riser cracked? Is it something that could be made into a sleeve takedown?

Might ask Bowdoc over on the Trad Gang. I hear he's magic.
