Jeff, while the bow is strung, grip it by the limb tip and while holding the sring, so it does not pop off, twist the opposite way of the twist, ya can twist it pretty well past what the original twist was, do this a couple times and let sit strung overnight and repaet. Ya may need to do it for a few days but it should work itself out. I was told not to use the heat method by Norm Johnson(Blacktail bows) as it is not neccesary and ya can actually do more harm than good. Shawn
