this is muh most recent aquisition from ebay...always take a chance there...lot of times when you see an old bow that looks like it just came off the store shelf...i always figure its got a twisted limb and they couldn't shoot it so thats why it stayed so purty.its nice tuh fix bows others figure are ruint.specially when you can get em at a discount...oh how many do i got...lets just say a small percentage of all the bows made in the 50 60 an early 70s...i ain't gonna count em...

How do you fix a twisted limb?

Very good question could you give us some pointers BV

[george tinkham]

just twist it the opposite way its twisted...strung or unstrung.but be careful if its strung.no need to heat limb but i prefer a warm room or better yet on a real hot day let the bow lay in the sun ,get hot an twist her out...sometimes takes 5 min. or a few days.mostly 5-30 min.

Sounds simple enough thanks george

[george tinkham]

but be sure you twist it the right direction
