I recently bought two late 70's compounds. Both have original cable sets and laminated limbs. They both shoot fine and I don't see any issue. A little common sense is in order too. Look them over for cable wear, and look the limbs over for any lifting of material, etc. Those old critters are pretty tough. I wouldn't give you a nickle for the new models since you can't shoot the damn things with your fingers...especially split finger hold. I'll take the oldies any day, just like my old recurves. Those plastics and glues took us to the moon, so I think they will hold up to shooting arrows.
