Title: straightening limbs on glass bows
Post by: Shaun on December 17, 2008, 10:40:00 PM

I have an older glass bow I am trying to get back into shape. Have tried the hot water from the bath tap method with hand pressure and it goes straight and stays when cooled, but creeps back bent when strung and shot.

How about some other methods? What has worked for you or what have you read?

If it keeps creeping back then I think your gonna have to remove some material.  Check out the link below.  A picture is worth a thousand words.  Chad
