I have a Bear Montana longbow and while shooting it the other day I noticed a slight bend in the limb, perhaps the last 6 " of one limb.  The "bend" is to the side and I can see that the string does not track exactly straight down when the bow is strung.  

To give you a mental picture of what I am talking about, say you hold your longbow in your left hand, straight out, then look down the limbs to the opposite end of the bow.  you see that the other limb tip area (perhaps 6") is off to the right a bit.  however, at present the bow shoots fine.

Question - Can this be fixed or is it to the point that I should send it back to Bear for them to straighten?

I'd appreciate any responses.

This may sound crazy but check the riser over real well.  I had a crack in a riser and it was causing one limb to look a little twisted.  I couldn't figure it out until I grabbed the riser in both hands and twisted on it.  The crack would open up then.  It's a wonder it didn't blow up on me.  

In the Oct/Nov 2009 Traditional Bowhunter Magazine Jason Wesbrock has an excellent article on "Fixing Twisted Recurve Limbs".  i don't know if it will work for longbows, but it might be worth a try. Give him a shout, and he could maybe give you some insight.  

thanks men.
