I have a Guava self bow, real beauty except it has some limb twist. What is a preferred method to get some of the twist out out.
Did the twist develop during tillering or is it inherent to the stave?
Do you have pictures and a little more detail of the twist?
If the bows finished n shoots, then leave it alone cus its fine. Did you make the bow?
Some self bows have a little natural twist and sometimes even allot. If the limbs cancle each other it will alamost always balance out if natural and not caused from tillering. I have made some bows from staves that looked like a propeller. :rolleyes:
No someone else made the bow and when I got it, it was fine. Tried to brace it and I cant get the string to stay on. Looking at it I can see the twist.
The string grooves might not be deep enough.
Pics would really help us determine the problem and a remedy.
Back it and retiller................
