In my case, I first noticed a 'line' in the paint finish of the outside face of the lower limb about 6" from the riser. This suggested to me that someting was amiss in this area. A closer look at the edge of the laminate (between the foam core and the paint) revealed a crack which was clearly visible on both edges.

The limbs didn't appear to shoot 'badly' in any way, but they were immediately retired as I've seen what can happen when a limb lets go.
