Limbs ?
« on: January 06, 2009, 10:50:00 PM »
I have a Bear grizzly that was stored with a string in the front position causing the tips to bend foward. The string was not the correct one of course, has anyone got any input to the way to correct this or do you think it will be ok to shoot. I have checked the tiller on the limbs and they appear to be the same.Here are some pics if this helps.

I cannot tell if they are twisted but curves look O.K. to me.Just b/c the string was put on that way if it was the right length it would not stress the limbs.That is a 58" bow so what length string do you have you need an A.M.O. length of 58" or actual length app. 54"/55"Kip
