Ok guys, I'm having a problem straightening this stave out. I need to move one limb over about 1 1/2" . I tried heat and weights but its not working well.

Just did a quick mock up of how I do tip alignment.usally use all metal clamps though.it's work well for me.there may be a better way,not sure?

[BOWMAN53]

Thing is, i only have one clamp. Ill have to ask a buddy to barrow some.

Just keep the bow away from the right angle cause it divert the heat under and it will scorch the back .

Thanks for the tip

That's pretty much the way I do it.  And yep, I've gotten careless and scorched the back on a few.  Josh

Thanks man, kids are great. My 2 1/2" daughter wanted a toy bow and arrow or a Donald Duck stuffed animal. She picked the bow. She's my little fishing buddy too. I love her.

The bow is looking nice man. Hope mine follows suit. Lol

I tapered the limbs to 1/2"
