I bought Tod a Ben Pearson "Cock Robin" 48" 15# wood bow in the box. I am guessing the bow to be very old (at least 50 years old), but it looks new in the original box. I had a 48" recurve string that I purchased extra for our middle son's 48" recurve.
When I strung the bow it has a 5.5" brace height. The bow made a cracking sound when I strung it. Again when I shot it I heard the cracking sound, I only pulled about 15' of draw. There are no visible cracks.
What should I do? It's going to be hard to tell Tod that he can't shoot it when he gets home from school this afternoon. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all.
