Title: Old Bow safe to shoot
Post by: Ringbill on June 06, 2018, 11:37:42 AM

I was given a Bear Kodiak Special this last weekend but it looks to have some cracks on the back fiberglass that run down the limb on both the top and bottom limb. I tried to attach pictures but it did not work. Since Photobucket stopped working I have not signed up with another similar site. How can I get pictures on here so you guys can take a look at it to get some opinions on whether I should string it up or not.

I think those longitudinal cracks are common in some older bows and usually not a problem.
