Eric. No doubt you are probably right on this. I listen when someone with your experience is speaking. I am however about a days work away from shooting this thing.  So...I'm gonna give it go. It's gonna end up being in the middle of the limb close to the neutral plane, so I'm betting that it won't be under a lot of stress. Thanks for the pic. I'm ignoring it and all the other peculiarities and finishing up a bow. I think I'll flip the tips on it. 😗

...So does this mean you do not intend to wrap it or glue it or anything?  You're just going to trim it out and ignore it?  WOW!  :o  That is a little out there!  I think I'd hve to wrap it...

Gus and 4dog. Thanks guys!
Onebow...I filled it with CA glue last night. It didn't suck much up so I don't think it goes in much deeper, but I added a bit more couple hours after the first treatment. I don't think I will wrap it. Not sure if that would do much. If it's gonna separate after the ca glue it's probably not gonna be saved with a bandaid on it. I reserve the right to disown the previous statement as crazy talk if I change my mind though.

That makes sense then.  ...and I always reserve that same right to myself as well.   >:D >:D >:D

Lot's of great talent and knowledge galore on this forum.  It was PEARL DRUMS I went to here.  Funny thing is, he had posted his answer as I was PMing him with the question.  Thanks Chris.  I'm just gonna finesse it as best I can and see if I can sneak up on 27 inches.

I bet super glue will do a nice job on this cool bow. I use "hot stuff" , very thin  superglue on all cracks in my bows. I use it on a Yew warbow and my osage "choctaw" bow. It works.  :)

I've tried a Bunch of different CA Glues.
You won't go wrong with Hot Stuff and or Lock Tite.

Applied the CA glue twice, sanded it a bit and applied a third time.  It looks worse in the pic than it does in hand.  It actually doesn't look too bad.  I flipped the tips and added 2 inches of reflex.  Keeping them straight would have lessened the strain a bit, but at 66 inches long bending thru the handle, if that pushes it over the edge then it was broken already as far as I'm concerned.  I'll get some time on it this weekend and should get a string on it. :)
