Yellow Virginia Pine split leaders. Should I prune?

Niles, MI(Zone 5a)

Anyone know if I should eliminate one of these leaders on my Yellow Virginia Pine (not sure of actual name)? Thanks for your help!

Unless you want a living slingshot you should remove one.

Thanks it's done. Upon closer inspection I noticed that it was starting to split down the center.

Be glad it wasn't 60 feet tall when that happened!
