              Cracks that run the length of the limb don’t cause structural problems. They are fairly common, especially in older bows. I don’t know of a way to repair something like that.

              If it was me, I wouldn’t worry about it.

                It’s not a problem to still using the Bow for 3d or Hunting?

                        Good deal!!

                        I think youll be really happy given the ole girl a fresh start and pre serving a part of bow history

                        IMHO of course

                        You wouldnt scrap a 68 Shelby Cobra cause it had a busted fender right?

                        : )

                        Makesure we see how it comes out

                          Yes, and the guy who runs this business, John Rafferty, is someone whose word you can trust. I sent him a Super Kodiak with a nicked limb. He worked on it and sent it back to me at no charge, saying it could not be safely repaired. I went ahead and shot it on a few occasions and sure enough, eventually it was ready to fail. (Which I avoided experiencing.)

                          Looking at your pictures, I think you may not actually have a serious problem. Trust John on whatever response he gives you once he has the bow.

                            John does great work!!!! He restored a bear kodiak hunter for me a few years ago.
