I'm in the process of making my 1st bow w/ reflex/deflex.  It is for my wife so I'm shooting for a low draw weight around 25-30lbs.  The belly of the limbs have small stress fractures.  Is this bow done for or is it still shootable?

Are the stress fractures running across the limb or lengthwise?

Wood bow?  If so, you need to figure out what is causing the fractures and fix it.  Otherwise it'll likely be fatal.

It would also be helpful to know where the fractures were. On the arms(limbs) or on the grip? Like WAlkabout said, pics would help
