Which way is the crack running? If it's going with the limb, it's probably fine. Odd place for a crack though. Thin superglue is what I would use. If it's across the limb, I wouldn't shoot it. I hate when that happens but when they do break, it can be ugly.

Did you add the hadle peice to you osage. Generaly that can happen when the osage wants to bend but the added handle material doesn't. Can you add a pic. It may be that you'll have to pin the handle peice on if thats the case.
Like Eric said some superglue and sinew does wonders.

The cracks I wrapped were running across the limb but very small and on the back which is more serious than one on the belly. I have shot a few thousand arrows out of the bow since the patch with no problems.
