I DID A SET. WARMED ONE UP AT A TIME OVER THE ELECTRIC STOVE [DON'T MELT IT] SNAPPED IT BACK IN THE RISER AND TWIST. COOLED IT UNDER COLD WATER. MIGHT TAKE A COUPLE OF TRIES BUT CAN GET RIGHT WHERE YOU WANT  BILL

I straightened a 76er limb a few weeks ago. It was so bad the string was several inches off the handle.

After several attempts with mild heat without success I decided I would straighten the limb or melt it.

I heated up really hot with my heat gun and twisted it straight with a crescent wrench.

The ugly thing was actually a pretty good shooter after I fixed it.
