Hello guys, I recently acquired an older Indian Archery Mohawk bow.
On the bottom limb it says 261-52, it is a little over 48# tip to tip, and it says 45# on the riser. I did not receive it with the string, so I am wondering how long of string I should look at getting for it. From what a quick google search said, would 4" less than overall length work? Also, is there a specific type of string I need to find?
As for the overall condition of the bow, it is is good condition, except for the fact that the bottom limb has some "lines" or from what I can tell, "cracks". Is this a big problem?
It is very similar to this picture of the "almost" exact same bow on this site, except the cracks on mine run all the way across the limb-

(check out web site for more pics of identical bow)
The other problem is that on the bottom limb, the double laminated fork is splitting a little bit parallel to the limb edges(so if you are looking at the bow while it was shooting to the left)
picture of one in perfect condition-
Could this be simply superglued, or is this a larger problem than I think?
Overall, there are a few little dings, but nothing else big, so other than those two bigger issues, it is decent.
So what do you think?
Thanks in advance
