Kodiak Hunter ?

[IAOUTDOORSMAN]

I ran into a guy and in conversation he said he had some bow laminations in a storage unit he wished to get rid of.  He said he wanted to clean out the storage unit and would give me the lams for free.  The day I showed up at the storage unit he also gave me a spray painted bow he said I could have.  He said that the bow was a bear grizzly, but that it was probably unsafe to shoot.  Once home the bow was flinging arrows.  Some time and nail polish remover later and I had a 50# 60" Kodiak Hunter.  The bow appears to be in good shap with the exception of some cracks in the glass on the front and back of the limbs in the fade areas.  I figured the bow was probably a 1970, but could be wrong.  What a find for free.
I have the idea to fill in the cracks with glue and camo dip the bow.  That is if somebody doesn't talk me out of it.

I forgot the question.  I really wanted to make sure that this bow IS safe to shoot with the cracks in the glass.  I figured people with knowledge of old bear bows would know best.  There are no cracking sounds or anything when shooting the bow.  The cracks all run with the limbs and don't appear to be much of a problem.

The are quite common in older bows and shouldn't hurt it at all.  Real nice bow for free.
