Will performance suffer if I don't straighten it?

The string may slip off at full draw if the angle isn't high enough, hence shorter bows with linger draws usually have flipped tips or recurvea

Yes, E Jensen, performace may suffer and it ay be harder to tiller properly.

When using dry heat, the wood must be dry. Also, don't force it. It's ok to use 2-3 heatings.

Thanks guys.  Its a good length bow so I'm less worried about the string coming off but I'll steam it a few times just to make tillering easier.
