30 year old Fiberglass Bow - Functional or Dangerous

[hatracked]

Its a good idea to inspect it thouroughly before stringing it. Inspect again after it is strung and as other have suggested shoot it yourself then repeat the inspection process. I own several 30 + year old bows many of which are glass limbed. They shoot as good as the day they came from the factory.

What you want to look for is small cracks or dings in the limbs that might result in a crack. As has also been said alot of these hairline cracks dont show themselves until the limbs are stressed . You also want to look for limb laminate separation. That shouldnt be an issue in the bow you describe as it is a solid glass limb.

You will also want to inspect the tips and make sure the string nocks ( the notched point at which the string actually attaches to the limb)are still in good shape not chipped or cracked.
