Contact Mike @ Maddog Traditional Archery.  He's a sponsor here and has made me a couple of sets of limbs.  Mike's a good guy too.

Brokenfeather, You can return the twisted limb to straight some times by twisting it the oppiste direction. I use a wash tube filled with hot water and the other side filled with cold water. Hold the limb with twist in the hot as long as you can stand it. Plung it in the cold still holding the reverse twist. You may have to repeat the proccess a few times but it usually works. Good luck  Knifemaker
