Advice needed from the bow builders

I have an old wood bow and the limbs are a little whacked outta shape. Is this a concern, can it be fixed or should I just shoot it as is ?

I am not a bowyer; but I collect vintage bows. The important measurement you want to express is 'string depth'. Measure the distance (at a right angle) from the string to the deepest part of the upper and lower limbs. And then post those here, along with the brace height. The difference indicated in the curve at the tips does not really matter very much. Nice drawings by the way.

As Bjorn suggests take a measurement at each of the fades to the string and let us know what they are. Looks like it's got positive tiller there which is what you want, but check to see how much.
