Question About Limb Tips and String Grooves

[BoonRoto]

I purchased a bow from a forum member here, the bow is beautiful, brand new and shoots great. The comapny that manufactured the bow is one I have been looking at for some time. The question I have is this. The string grooves are not even close to being even from side to side. One string groove is about 1/8 inch lower then the other. I know this doesn't sound like much but I am a VERY particular person and I don't have the experience to know if this is a big deal or not when it comes to the performance of the bow.

I did not mention it to the person I purchased it from but should I contact the bowyer?


Thanks, Andrew

Look for limb twist.  I have had to un match my nocks to get rid of a bit of twist.

If there is no twist and the string goes down the center of the bow, it will be fine and shoot fine.

IMHO,,,, not a problem at all.

Not something I would want or could live with. I would contact the bowyer and see if he'll dress it up for you. Can you show us a picture? Art

I'm with Art- can you show us a picture?

It could be that the limb had twist, and the string groove was deepened on one side to compensate.

If I knew the string grooves were like they are I wouldn't have bought the bow Hova. I thought that would be pretty obvious. Thanks for the welcome.
