Osage...twist in handle...ideas?

[ohma]

agree with Jawge you can fix your problem with some arrow tuning and brace adj, i to have made more than one bow with some twist in the handle and was able  to tune arrows to it.

Hi,

Thanks for the ideas...I do wonder if I could help the twist by taking adjusting the limb...and after looking at the picture it does look like I really need to watch that top limb...but like I said before I have an uneducated eye at this point so the bow will stay in the closet till I can get an educated eye to look at it.  (all that educated and uneducated stuff sounds mighty highfalutin' don't it?)

Thanks again!

and, do use a i a tillering gizmo?
if not
i would recomdend making one and using it
making it and using it are quite easy

i took a 1x1 and cut it 6 " long
some folks like to put  pencil thru the middle of it(so it sticks out the other side)or a small screw
i just use the piece of wood itself
while your tillering your bow,and you have it on your tiller tree or stick
and the limbs are bent,just run the gizmo over the belly side of the limbs
and watch the gap between the limb and the gizmo
it will show you flat spots and hingy spots in a real hurry

just thought i would throw that out there
