I HAVE A 33# TARGET BOW WITH A BAD TWIST IN TOP LIMB. I HAVE TRIED RUNNING HOT WATER ON IT, BUT NOT HAVING ANY LUCK. GUESS I WILL TRY HAIR DRYER OR HEAT GUN NEXT. ANY SUGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Use dry heat a heat gun as you mentioned, heat to the point you can still handle it with bare hands and twist back plus a little extra til it sets right. Then string it up and leave it strung for a while, repeat if needed.

Use an electric blanket.

no heat just keep twisting they will come out sooner or later without heat unless there was some repaired damage on one of the limbs maybe ? bd
