I just got this from my uncle tonight and would like to bounce a few questions off ya..
1) There are stress cracks and a little damage to the finish..Is this safe to shoot?
2) What size, and kind of string do I need, and brace height should I use?
3) How old do you think it is?
4) Who will refinish her for me to A-1 condition?

first pic, no biggie. Its crazing where the limbs flex, common on older bows that have been shot a lot
second pic looks like just the finish has flaked? again no biggie. You can sand and refinish easy enough. Ive done it using spray poly for a finish, or just touch it up to keep out moisture.
48" dacron string
mid 70's (guessing)
