I noticed this bow has a small crack in the limb, Just wondering if I should be worried. I've shot many old bear bows with parallel cracks in the glass, but this one appears to be perpendicular right at the bamboo node and appears to be in the wood lamination itself. I can feel it with my finger nail. I attached some photos even though it is very hard to get a good one.

I don't know whether I'd be worried.... But I'd wear safety glasses while shooting it, and start writing an obituary.....Kirk

Then you have no compression issues- Good thing

I would  sand it out a bit till until you cant feel the burr and inject some thin CA-You coud add more thicker CA after that and build up till smooth( smooth on or a 5 min epoxy) then sand flat.

Then shoot the Krap out of it :)
