Hi all,
recently I have had some success with Freecycle and thought I had struck gold when I picked up a 36lb Recurve bow which seems about the right size for me. It didn't have a string but on a bit of flexing it made some loud snapping like noises. On further inspection I see it has delaminated in a couple of places.
I am trying to upload some pics but am struggling.

Basically, is it repairable? Money being tight I can't afford to buy a bow, so it will either be fix this and use it or don't do any archery. If It is beyond repair or far to dangerous I want to know but what I would love someone to say is, yeah, just use some strong glue and that should be fine.
Thanks
Steve
