are these anything to worry about? I bought this used Kodiak take down that had not been used much. Since I started shooting it these cracks started showing up. They are green tip limbs that pull 60 lbs at my draw length (~30"). These cracks are in the bottom limb, the top limb just has one only halfway across the top that just developed. I have a Flemish string (not the fast flight) from ten ring on it, brace around 8.5" and am shooting 340 spine arrows with points 175-250 gr. I love this bow and don't want to ruin the limbs. My 38# red tip limbs I bought don't have this issue (yet). Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Those are typically the finish cracking.  

I thought I had the same problem in an old 60 ish bow but it turned out to the finish. Glass is more likely to crack lengthwise.

I think your good to go. Almost always the horizontal cracks are just in the finish and Bear bows are famous for that. Shoot it up and have a Merry Christmas
