Check it out! Be careful, examine the string, then slowly pull on it a little and test the limbs to see that they aren't brittle. If all looks good, draw it back. If it feels good, shoot it. The only thing, is if it got brittle sitting around. It likely lost some of it's poundage sitting around strung. But you never know. Be careful though. I have seen old bows shatter when drawn after long periods of sitting around.
