That bow was made in the '50's.   Hard to find collectors item

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

I noticed a very slight thin crack near the tip It is near the string groove and is shallow. Never braced it and never seen this until now. Should I have it refinished or leave it alone? Don't plan on shooting it since its old and all wood. Any ideas? I will posts some pics later toady.<><
