Nailed it!  Absolutely Great Shooting bows.  The twist is minor and probably easy to fix.
Relax,

Don't know if it's the pic, but that one showing the string in line with the limb makes it look as though the limb is twisted. Other than that I have nothing to offer.

Why don't I read all the posts before offering my uninformed observations?   :banghead:   At least I was right about the twist.

That should clean up nicely. Good luck with the restoration. Grizzly's are very underestimated shooters-'a solid working mans bow'.

It came out ok and most certainly better then when I got it. They must have sprayed a clear coat of some sort
It was nasty lookin and I'm pretty pleased with the outcome of my 6 man hrs of off and on sanding but now she is back smooth again.

Does it have a twisted limb?  Or is it not even strung in any of the pics above?
For we did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; instead, we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
