Default Safe to shoot?

I noticed a few days ago that right along the front corner of my lower limb on my Bowtech Patriot that the camo was peeling off. No biggie. When I got to looking at it closer, it was the camo film and the outer most fibers of the limb material that were peeling. Now this is a small strip about 1/16" wide right along the front cornerand about 4"long. It doesn't seem to be into the main limb material, just the outer fibers. It doesn't extend to the limb pocket or the forks, and it didn't get any worse after shooting it yesterday afternoon. I plan to get it checked out by Bowtech after the season here in WAand my Idaho hunt at the end of September, but is this something I shouldn't shoot until I get the company to check it out? The downside isI doubtI can get it there, back, and ready to shoot before season opens here in WA on Sept 8. My plan is to stop by the local dealer and have him check it out before I hit the range againon Friday and see what he thinks.
