Limb twist
« on: July 08, 2012, 05:20:00 PM »
So I'm in the middle of building my second recurve and am in the process of straightening out some limb twist. My question is how perfect does it have to pull back? I had one limb pulling off a bit and I brought it back and I think it's good now but just am wondering how crucial it is to have it pulling exactly perfect. I put a 18'' board in like Bingham's recommends and it looks pretty good but I want to make sure to do it right. So, is it something I should worry about or if it looks pretty good just leave it?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks, I didn't know if a tiny bit of limb twist would be a big issue. It looks pretty good so I'll just leave it.

I would straighten it as best you can cuz over time memory can get worse.  It will get louder and have a hard time shooting it straight.
