Hi this is my first time posting on this forum so not sure if this is in the right place....
Basically i'm new to archery and just took up the sport around 6 months ago... i bought my self a Samick SLB 69 inch at 60# draw weight... i've been shooting a fair few times over the 6 months in a field at a target i've bought with a friend of mine, the bow has been great up untill today [23/4/2014] where when i was at full draw i heard a snap and found that the bow has a crack down the front face of it near the shelf, and a crack along the side of the bow near the face.... i have no idea what happened...
so my question is would it be down to my technique? or over drawing the bow? is it a poor bow design? do i have too many twists in my string? or is the bow the incorrect size of myself?
I'm 6ft 4" with a 30-31 inch draw length if i measured it correctly
i'm just quite shocked that i managed to do this to a 60# bow (picture included) any advice would be appreciated as i've ordered a new bow and will need to know if i have to return it.
