Oldest bow in the field/back up?

[smj]

Nice bow Coca Cola! I had one almost exactly like that, it was for a right handed shooter. I say "was" because someone asked me if they could draw it. I said sure thing and pasted him the bow. This fellow proceeded to draw the bow to his ear rather than his chin or jaw (very tall fellow and probably tired to draw the bow 34 inches or more, to quickly for me to stop him) and the end of the limb broke right off. It looked like both the glue and the wood failed. So keep that bow happy and don't over-draw it! And don't let anyone else do so either! (I now make everyone draw any of my bows with an arrow, just to make certain they do not over-draw!!!)

I remember you saying something like this before.
Now it makes sense to me.
I understood why but not the whole why
