Well then, if it's a working bow, and you can string it, do so. Sight down each limb and take a mental note of where each curve needs moved. Now unstring the bow and brace it to where the tip will move while heat is applied top/bottom limb. For example, I will brace the bow mid-limb against a post and have the tip wedged against a support on the opposite. The more pressure I apply against the bow makes the tip come around. I heat out in front of the curve, both top and bottom, as I'm applying pressure. You can feel when the curve moves. If I've gone to far I simply flip the bow over and bring it back. Once cooled, I restring and check for alignment. Process may have to be repeated several times but once you get the hand of it's relatively simple and quick.
