Repair of cracked limb

[jussi]

 My nock was too small for a string on an orange osage bow,  result was like a dry fire... Can glueing repair  the limb?  If so what kind of glue would work best?

I do not understand - is the bow cracked or the noc on the arrow... if it's the noc you could put a new on on - if its the bow - 

I don't now what to tell you -

It would depend on the crack. Pictures would help. If it runs length wise you could wrap it with sinew. If it runs across the width you could try backing the bow with sinew.

Crack was about 5in. running with the grain longways.    I decided to go for it with gorilla glue & clamps.  Now I'm kind of floor tillering it.  Restrung bow, drew it back & will do that for awhile So far so good.  I'll let loose an arrow if all seems good...  Thanks for comments.  Jussi

  Good news,  repair job turned out fine.  Added top coats of poly & she's flinging arrows straight & true.
