String it and slowly pull iy back and watch the limbs, if is bad enough the string will not lay in the string groove. before ya do ant of that look down the bow ene to end from the belly side, like looking to see if an arrow is straight. Shawn

I have several wing bows, one of them had a slight twist in the limb, i took it out by carefully twisting it in the opposite direction while it was strung, After it was straight i left it strung and shot it for about a month keeping a close eye on it. Now it is as straight as an arrow, with no ill effects.
Proverbs 12:27
The lazy do not roast any game,
but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.


John 14:6
