I've had the 55# Hoyt Buffalo for two months now. Been a great shot and had a lot of fun with it.
Last weekend I was at the countryside and shooting my Buffalo for a whole day. I had the bow on a table and as the sun was shining I noticed some discoloration on the lower limb. Like it was matte.
After picking up the bow I noticed that both limbs have the identical discoloration in the middle of the limb, covering approximately 10 inches.
I inspected both limbs and the discoloration is caused by short (3-5 mm) horisontal hairline fractures on the surface of the lamination.
Is it a normal?
And no, it's never been dry fired, it always been dismantled after use.

I believe that it is the sticker of the Hoyt logo on the limb.

That's in the finish. Pretty common. The areas you mention are where the limb flexes the most at full draw. If you have a particularly long draw, it exacerbates the problem. Just cosmetic though. Nothing to worry about.

Looks like all the older Bear bows I've seen. Just cosmetic, doesn't hurt a thing.
