I can post pics later if needed.
I'm wondering how to determine if an old bow is still safe? I picked it up several years ago and it seemed fine at the time. Fired ok, didn't notice any problems. But I've gotten a bit more cautious over the years and this bow has been sitting on my wall for years. Before I take it out to shoot again I would like to be sure I don't have to worry about the limbs snapping under strain or anything like that.
Any suggestions what to look for, how to check it over?
It's a single-piece wood recurve.
