    I just spent the last day and a half sanding and refinishing my bow but here is a pic before I fixed the twisted it was the bottom limb uploadfromtaptalk1458521776735.jpg

    I would take that bow to an expert before I shot it. There has to be a reason why that happened, and that pic doesn't show much at all.

    Lay the bow on something flat (floor) and see if the limbs are twisted. Older bows can twist from incorrect stringing or twisting. Im not sure its fixable? They aren't usually very consistent shooters and can be dangerous due to a lack of the string staying where it's supposed to be.

    Certainly can't tell if you have a twist there in that pic. Sight down the bow using the string and and see if the margin is even on both sides of the limbs, best way to tell.

    It sure appears to be twisted. But.... 1. What did it look like before you started working on it?
    This might help. Take the string completely off & then put it back on
    Here's another good way to tell

    Let me know if the pic helps
