So, I made a longbow last year and hunted with it, and it shoots okay, but it's developed some set that i'm not happy with, and I wanted to try to fix it if possible.
The bow is about 66" maple backed honey locust board type bow. The maple lam is about 1/8" thick and glued on with TB III. The entire bow is finshed with a satin poly.
I'm wondering if I sand the finish off, induce a little reflex, and heat-temper the belly wood, would this bring a little reflex into it, or at the least take some set out, and make it less likely to set in the future? Also, will the heat tempering delam the maple backing, or is it relatively safe?
