Sorry to hear that. A favourite tool becomes an extension of yourself.

TBH mate it's lasted far longer than I thought it would, and I have put it through some heavy use (as would be expected). It's a testimony to the quality of the Bowyer that it lasted this long. Keeping a Bow that can not be shot, is like keeping a Racehorse that can't run, so I shall build a pyre and send him to the Archery Gods.
Happy new year to all.
