Matt, I can't help you put your bow together, but I can tell you how to avoid some of the pain next time. Insure your bow. I'm not pushing my company on you or soliciting business here. I'mjust offering advice because I work in the insurance industry and I sell these all the time. Again, I have no interest in soliciting from this forum. This is just information I know about PA.

Without looking at rates I'm guessing it wouldn't even meet the minimum requirements, soit would cost $30.00 a year w/ a $0 deductible. Major insurance companies have an "all perils" policy where you schedule items at a certain price (ie. your bow).This means you can accidentallybreak your bow and it's covered with a $0 deductible for whatever the cost of the damage. When I have the cash to get reallllll serious with my hunting gear it will allbe scheduled on my existing policy (alreadyhave an engagement ring on there. Myrifle might go on next).
