Heat or steam?

[always89]

Hey guys,
Thought I would run this by you. I have my brother in laws OOOLLLDDDDD longbow, and its in bad shape. One limb had taken quite a bit od set. 4 inches to be exact. I have stripped the bow down to its naked wood, and was wondering if I should steam it after clamping, or break out the heat gun?

A bow that old, you would have to dry heat it the tips.

I wouldn't mess with it. You could do more damage trying to fix it. Is it a self bow or lam bow?
