Wildcard163:
You will notice I said the solid fiberglas bow was a "backup" bow. The thought of breaking a bow during the hunt and either ending the hunt or having to buy something in a hurry was not a desired option. If my primary bow broke, the backup bow of solid figerglas was not beautiful or as smooth as my primary bow, but it was always ready and available just in case.
Back when I still wandered the woods in the winter, we constantly flexed our fiberglas laminated wood bows to reduce the chances of delamination and/or breakage from the cold. I still have that Shakespear that I used and the limbs are straight and the fiberglas laminated wood is still intact
