I traded for a 3 piece longbow here and it came with a twisted top limb. It is not bad and I sent it to a repair guy to fix some cracks in the fiberglass where the limb bolts were overtightened. He said it was an illusion but I can see a twist, (I dont think he looked at it while strung as you can see the twist when it is strung). He stated that you hardly ever see a longbow with a twisted limb. Anyway, I am relatively new to traditional archery(just sold my compound to hunt strictly traditional) and traded a very nice recurve bow for this one. Is there anyway to fix the twist in the limb or do I need to chalk this one up to experience? The bow shoots good but I dont know if it will get worse. It is hard to make a deal over the web without seeing the item first I guess. The repair person did a heckuva job on the fiberglass cracks though!! Cant even see them. I talked to the original bowyer and he priced me some new limbs, but dang...too much right now!! Any help will be appreciated.
You seldom see a twisted longbow limb because they are on the same plane with the riser. Are you sure it's not leaning one way.
Anyway it's probably OK and if it shoots good, I wouldn't worry about it.
