slight warp in limb of recurve, can i fix it or is it ruined?
« on: September 20, 2008, 09:04:00 PM »
My dad gave me a martain hatfield takedown recurve. it 62" and 60# @ 28. It has a slight, i mean slight, warp on the bottom limb. i was wondering if it is fixable or has it retired to hang on the wall. thanks, arkiewoodsman

Might try a heat gun or hair dryer to gently heat the limb enough for it to soften then twist the limb to just slightly past strait and hold till it cools. You can also do this with hot watter but for a slight bend I'd stay away from H2O.
Just this Alaskan's opinion
