Thanks everyone. All my oldest staves all have a little challenge to them. Last January I  decided to see if they would make bows or firewood. I pulled 6 out, roughed them out, heat straightened them as far as I was brave enough to push them. The 1st one didn’t make it through corrections. This was the the 2nd stave, and I probably have 200+ shots through it, and it feels like it should survive. I’m happy with the way it shoots.
