tips on straightening a bent limb
« on: February 01, 2011, 08:30:00 PM »
Howdy folks, need a little advice on straightening a bent limb on a take down recurve.  Someone suggested that I apply really hot water and hand straighten.  

And advice?

This should help you out...pay special attention to what the real bowdoc says in his posts..
There was also a good article in one of the past issues of TBM written by one of our very own tradgangers.  You can probably look it up on TBM online..
Hope this helps!
