This one was almost missing the limb and would not come back.

The photo says.

I’m not asking anymore.

Sat in the sun all afternoon and early evening when I took it down, it was almost perfect.

A few gentle caress’s tomorrow will be all it needs.Arrowchucker

Is that a Gull you've got bound and tied there? Hope you can get all the kinks worked out. I've got one also and its a darn fine shooter.

Have to remember that one. It gets real hot here. Bet it would only take a couple hours here.

Neat idea!

I say, “ I’ve never seen one I can’t fix”.

That Gull wasn’t going to break my streak!

I had a 65# Herters that the string would miss the limb completely when let down. That was the worst ever.

I had to clamp the Herters down in a bow vise then pulled the limb at least 5” off center and left for the weekend.

That got it just past center the wrong way. But I just left it strung with the string in the limb grooves for a couple days and it stuck.

Shot it for awhile to make sure but had to get rid of it

When I pull those heavy bows my feet come off the ground!!.

Never seen something like this before. Like to see the before picture?

How is this bow supported in the air?

So you are using the sun to generate some heat?

Thanks

I love how guys think outside the box on here. I’ll have to add that one to my bag of tricks! Thanks for sharing that Kyle.

Stubborn is as stubborn does…… Looks like you’re gonna win this one, considering your track record.

That's $#&@$# brilliant!

Well done, sir, well done.

I had to tie it up again the next day to get the little bit out. But I just jammed the limb in between boards and got everything twisted and tie up.

It’s almost perfect right now.

Time to clean her up proper now. Give her a new string and let some arrows fly!

I was wondering about the results. Thumbs up. JF
