Strategy for snakey Osage?

[osage outlaw]

Using the weights like you did is a great way to see exactly how hot osage needs to be to bend.  Once you get it to that perfect temperature it will slowly untwist.

I'm not sure I'd do anything with 20 deg of twist but this is how I remove it.

I got it to where the tips are fairly aligned. Now there's just humps at the twist transition. My son got to shoot it a few times today. It's still slightly above weight but I want to see how much it sets. Shot well for me (I mark a short draw on the arrow shaft when I shoot it).

It's at 28#@24". I think his draw is a bit shorter than that still.

Here's the limb that was twisted. I figured I might as well have the challenge for my first Osage bow
