First, your pictures are very large and they delete them if you don't resize them. I know it's a pain.
I have been told that cracks running length wise on a bow are nothing to be too worried about. But see what the others have to say.
Bona Nice bow btw!

I'd fill it with super glue and shoot it. Keep a watch to be sure it doesn't enlarge but you should be OK.

When I fill a large crack with superglue I tap the side of the limb with a piece of scrap wood to get the air bubbles out and get the glue deeper in the crack.

I like to heat up the area with my heat gun and then let the CA fill in.

Nick, tapping the sides would release any air bubbles attached inside the check.
