Title: Recutting string grooves
Post by: kevsuperg on August 09, 2015, 05:07:00 PM
So I recently picked up blem bear super grizzly , it shoots well, at least as good as I can shoot it.
What I notice though is the top string groove is off center, not to bad but off center none the less.
Does anyone know of a way to fill in and recut the groove. Or is it even necessary
I know a guitar nut can be repaired and a new groove cut. Thought there might be a way to do it to a bow

And it's definitely not a twisted limb, the groove is off

The groove may have been intentionally cut slightly off center to correct slight limb twist.

If it ain't brooe, I wouldn't try to fix it.

And FWIW, I don't know of a safe way to fill in a string groove and recut it. Sorry. Maybe others will be more knowledgeable.
