I don't know, but either way, you have an excellent opportunity to justify buying a new bow.

Depending on what that looks like in person, it might just scare me a bit!

It doesn't look deep... Maybe just the glass?

Looks like just the glass, but wear safety glasses if you shoot it, or maybe a helmet...lol

Kind of unclear what you are talking about...I shoot old Bears that look a lot worse than that all the time

If you are talking about the stress crack, I would shoot it.
Relax,

I got worse stress cracks on three of my old Bears, a '59 K and a '60 K. Specials, and a '61 Kodiak.  Shoot'em all the time and no problems, especially the '61 Kodiak.  May have them refinished and the cracks touched up Locktite when extra money comes around, but they shoot fine.

Shoot it.
