Prop Twist ?
« 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
If you fear failure you will never Try !

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
