fixing bow that is not symetrical
« on: July 16, 2009, 04:04:00 AM »
I got a used bow at a garage sale and strung it up and it is not symetrical.  I am assuming that one of the limbs of the bow is giving a greater amount of flex than the other limb.  I have a few questions on this.  How might have this occurred? and How might this be remedied?  Some details that probably won't matter at all to the solution, but the bow is a Browning Fury 60" 58#.  The lower limb seems to pull back more than the upper limb giving it a non symetrical look, with the string not square to the bow when you put an arrow on the string.  I am hoping I can remedy this.  Any info or answers would be helpful.  Thanks in advance.  Jim

There are lots of the old bows that have a tiller that looks 'off' to what we're used to seeing today, but when you take into account the different limb lengths and the limb timing after the shot they are perfectly tillered.  Just a thought.

That's not to say someone didn't mess with the bow and change it.  A few pics would help: unbraced, braced and at full draw.
