Bear Bow "Panda"

[ChristopherO]

As kids we use to fling arrows with the bow Dad bought mom when they were first married in the late 50's.  It is a Bear Panda.  The old bow has been sitting in the barn loft for many, many years collecting dust.  I asked Dad if my kids could put it to use, which was just fine.  
It is pretty beat up from years of neglect and abuse but I believe it will be a good starter bow for my daughters.  It will need a new handle wrap and shelf but I can take care of that.  There are a few gouges here and there and one limb has a crack in the fiberglass backing 3 or 4 inches long.  Will have to keep an eye on that.  The stats written on it says 57" and 24#.  Doesn't state what the draw length is for that 24#'s, though.
If any one has any pertainent information on this little Bear I would appreciate it.

I had a Panda that was 34#@28 and it was a nice little bow. It had stress in the limbs like most old Bears but i shot the snot out of it for 3 years before selling it last year. Should be ok for little shooters. I would string it up and test it a few times and listen for any cracking sounds.
