    I'm hoping someone out there can help save my season. Covid has hit my family hard and wifes not working right now. Icing on the cake is I look down at my bear anarchy and all the sudden one of my limbs is splitting or delaminating.

    Is there anyone out there that can help?!? I tried to call bear but they would have to make them and they are 4-6 weeks out. Buying a replacement bow is not possible with everything that has happened to us this year.

    it’s old but I love it. I knew it was probably time for an upgrade but just couldn’t swing it. Never shown any wear and tear.

    Let me know if that didn’t work

    I wouldn't shoot it. That could get ugly. Man I don't what to tell you really. They are 4-6 weeks out. And you can't buy a new bow. I mean you could look for a used bow and mean a very used one that could get you through the rest of the season. It doesn't have to be perfect or pretty, just deadly..

    yeah seems scary to me and really don’t want to lose a digit. Actually always had a fear of a bow blowing up and clipping the artery in my neck ha.

    unfortunately a used bow just isn’t in the cards. Thanks for giving me your input though, I really appreciate it.

    Take it to a shop and get a professional opinion. Not that I don't trust members in here but take it to 2 different shops.

    I would say the only option you have is to find someone that will loan you a bow for the rest of the season..I wish I had one to loan you.
