I had the same problem about a year ago on a recurve I was building. Here's the advice I got. Maybe it will help.

I found out recurves are a lot tougher than longbows.
2 things:
- your nocs.. make sure they are even. If not the side that is high will pull down and twist.
- Your side to side from center.. you can sand down the side of the limb (edge) to weaken it a bit to get rid of the twist.
I have had to do both, and both worked for me.
