Hey Rob, welcome, it's good to see you here.

My first concern is the actual condition of the bow. It's an older bow and the glues weren't as good as they are today so check it over very well for any hairline cracks. Especially in the glass of the limbs. Delamination can prove to be a very painful experience if you happen to have the bow at full draw when it comes apart. While you're looking it over, check for any twist in the limbs.

Once you've inspected or had the bow inspected by someone in the know and it's found to be solid, then get a stringer and string it up. I'm assuming that the bow hasn't been strung in awhile so once you have it strung, hang it up on the wall or lay it flat under a bed. Don't stand it in a corner and don't hang it in a vertical possition from one limb. Leave it strung for a few days so the bow starts to remember that it's still a bow and then gingerly give it a tug. If after short drawing the bow a few times it doesn't feel like it's locking up and it's still in one piece, go ahead and draw it to full anchor and hold it for a short time. Then let it down and pull it back again. Do this several times until you are comfortable that you can shoot it without concern. I'm probably over doing the caution here, but in my opinion it pays to be careful with an older bow. Oh, if you have an overly long (30" plus) draw length, you might be better off not shooting the bow unless it is in exceptional shape and doesn't stack (add excess weight unevenly). You could get used to the stacking part, but finger pinch could be a problem.

Anyway, I hope it turns out to be a good shooter for you. Have fun.
