Limb Damage

[Will_m]

Got a question for the brain trust.
This is an elite impulse with 80 lb limbs. 550 grain arrow, no dry fires or anything like that.
There is a small crack beginning to develop on the lower limb and coming from the bolt. I can’t tell if this is cosmetic, but I’ve got a hunt in two weeks and this is the second set of limbs I’ve put on here. The first set started to crack as well, but that crack was at the fork. In any event, I’m told elite doesn’t have these limbs anymore and I was lucky to get these but it’s not like I’d have time to replace them anyway before the hunt.
Does this crack look problematic or is cosmetic?Maybe just don’t practice much and save their last bit of life for the hunt?
I’m going back to Mathews after this….

I would not trust that. It would suck having to hunt with that in 2 weeks when you will be worrying about it.

Where are you located? I have 2 good bows not currently being used.

Definitely not cosmetic and it’s located smack dab in the middle,so yes it’s very problematic.

If you want to save the bow you can still get Barnsdale limbs for it. They just won’t be matching camo

I'd put a few shots on it if your hunt banks on it, but I'd replace as soon as possible.

I think I will be ordering the Barnsdale’s after I get back, hope my shop will put them on.
Maybe a little superglue will help? I marked it with a sharpie to see if it grows. I have no idea where the line is but while I certainly won’t ignore that crack, I feel like it should have a few more shots in it.
