I have an Omega long bow, over ten years old. I have had some twist issues with the lower limb, but I think I finally got it straight with some heat, which I was afraid to use in the past. I'm not brave enough to trim any wood off either side of the limb. So, any thoughts on twisted limbs? The bow has always been well/super well taken care of, and always strung with a stringer. My main problem at the moment is that the nock overlay, at the end of the limb came off while shooting. I glued it back on with a high quality bowers epoxy (e40, something like that?) let it cure for a week, but two dozen arrows later it popped off again. Any ideas there? I have some nice horn nocks off an old broken English type long bow, would it make any sense to try and use one of those? I have considered shooting the bow without an overlay, but the tip of the limb is very small, I fear it could break. I really like the bow and want to save it, been with me on many treks in the mountains, and I even got between a mother bear and her cub with it once, thought I was going to have to send a broadhead her way. But I didn't. The situation "defused". So we have a "history".
Yes, Kegan McCabe is going stronger than ever. But, as it is "out of warranty" he does not seem to be interested. He is good at answering emails. The "best" offer I got from him was that if I sent him the bow for a $295.00 "refinish", he would address the nock (top limb) and the twist issue in the lower limb. I cannot afford that, or would rather put that money towards a new bow, rather than a "refinish" that the bow does not need. So, dead end there. Frustrating, as I really love the bow, shoots VERY fast, but I don't think that type of bow should have a ten year life span. ?
