Was shooting today and my 55lbs recurve popped when I released it and the limbs split about 2 inches on each end. The only thing different I did was change my string to a flemish twist. Luckily I have a another recurve but it is only 45lbs. I do not know exactly why my bow decided to give out today. Guess I will patiently wait for Kent to get caught up and start building more bows.
