These bows are durable.

Otherwise they would not come with a warranty.

A wooden bow will not suddenly break.

Wood for sure can hold negative surprises; but if a wooden bow breaks, it’s during the building process. Once they survived the torture of birth they don’t break anymore. After making well over 100 wooden bows none of them just broke in daily use.

A wooden bow will not suddenly loose its performance.

Wood is alive and basically a wooden bow will show maximum performance when freshly built – then it will loose around 5% of it’s performance over the first 1000 arrows before settling in. This is an unavoidable property of wood. I will not be able to shoot in your bow until the process of settling in is completly done. So enjoy the great initial performance of your bow and don’t be surprised about a little loss of performance over time.

What’s been said above about durability only applies if the bow is treated well by its owner.

That is, as long as you do not overdraw the bow, string it correctly, always unstring it after use and don’t anchor too long  (max 2 – 3 seconds). If these basic rules are followed, the bow will have a long life. Acting against those basic rules might not lead to breakage but for structural damage and greater loss of performance.
