Are stress lines a problem?
« on: May 05, 2007, 10:51:00 AM »
I love the older bows, but they often have stress lines (cracks) running lengthwise on the bow. Are these cause for concern or are they more cosmetic?

I have had several older Bear with stress lines in them and they never seemed to be a problem-other than cosmetically.  That pretty much echoes what I have heard and read about them also.
