I recently purchase a laminated/bamboo backed longbow. I followed the bowyers instructions regarding warming up the bow before shooting it, and was very gentle with the initial shooting of the bow. I shot 36 arrows and reached about 3/4 of the draw length. The next day I wanted to make a new flemish twist string for it. When I took it out of its bag I looked along it's length and believe I see what is a 'hinge' in the upper limb. It is only small - but I am reluctant to shoot it again until I get some information. The bowyer seems to think it will be OK, but I am not sure. Is a small 'hinge' acceptable? I will post some pics when I get a chance.
Is it possible to build-up the affected area to remove the 'hinge'?
Thanks for any information.
