Hoyt Ventum 80lb limb cracked?

I'd like peoples opinion on my ventum 33 (60 pound) Just got it yesterday, the box was quite beat up, and upon opening it I've noticed a bunch of scratches and two gouges (one on a limb, one on the riser near the rest). Yet to shoot any arrows, wouldnt mind some opinions regarding the top left limb, and if it is safe to shoot. Cant really tell if the damage is cosmetic or something more serious.

That looks certainly undesirable on a new bow to me.

However from a standpoint of safety, personally I wouldn't have issues with it for what I can tell. It's past the axle, as long as you can't see a split in the limbs it should be ok.


Check with a cotton ball for splinters. Looks mostly cosmetic, but I'd check it over.
 
Is this limb cracked? It’s on an 80lb Hoyt Ventum 30 that’s barely a week old with less than 300 shots on it. I shoot 560 grain arrows, love the bow, but this is the second set of limbs they’ve put on this bow. First started to split on the side. Any takes on what they think?View attachment 327857
Any follow up on the cause or outcome of this? Mine 80lb limbs literally have the same marks in the same place.
