Title: Prop Twist ?
Post by: Stick Bender on December 26, 2016, 03:37:11 pm

Hi Fellas I chased the ring down on this snaky sapling today and getting it ready to start floor tiller but I have never made a bow with this much prop twist  Do you still work in  the limb tappers parallel to the back ?  I'm hopping some will come out as I tiller , I could probably  heat straiten it some but like to keep this one Ala Natural

I'd tiller it out to low brace first then decide. You can tiller out twist but it will leave you with uneven limb thickness.

I like to take it out, before I became adept at removing propeller I tillered several bows with twist and all of it pulled out after being shot for a while.

I usually leave it in too but that's a 45 degree twist. I'd take it out. This is how I do it. Jawge
