Shoot it,the youngest I shoot is a 1970 KMag.
 My go to Bow is '59 Kodiak, if it blows, I will still be thankful for the time we spent together,she will have helped me w/ my form and confidence because she hits where I point her and her replacement will probably be as old and shoot the same.

I've only ever had one bow break in five decades of shooting them, and it had a crack to begin with.
It's silly to hang such a great bow on the wall; it's not really a bow unless it is used and it will probably serve you for many years...likely the rest of your years 8^).

Dacron only on that baby....14 strands is plenty.

I asked for soecific opinions about the finishing touches before shooting and hunting with this bow,not wether I should shoot it or not. The only bow that has every broken while I was shooting it was a brand spanking new custom longbow. It was the first longbow the bowyer had made over 70# and his design was cut too close to center for 85#.
My personal opinion was this bow is completely shootable, BowDoc completely backed that opinion up.
Can we get back on topic?

BowDoc shoots those old Bears himself and he can gladly let you know how he sets up his bows.  If it's good enough for him, it's got to be good.
