If the spider-webbing is in the finish (and it PROBABLY is), then it would still be safe to shoot. I can' t guarantee it, either, because of course, I haven' t seen the bow. If it has fully working limbs it' s one of the later models, as mentioned by Jim. I think the Colt was and is one of the best bows in it' s class. But it' s class isn' t anywhere near top shelf. Colts in superb condition and in the 50 pound hunting weight class sell for 60 to 70 dollars, which is on the lower end of the used bow market. It is, however, one of the best buys at that price I think and should give you solid performance if the limbs aren' t damaged.
