Generally yes, you can take some twist out. Depends how bad, deep etc. I’m no expert here but I have luck warming the limb with a hairdryer and overtwisiting back the opposite direction. Yo uhave to play with it a bit.
Couple ideas, contact Black Widow directly (they in Nixa, Missouri). I shoot BW’s and they speak to that situation directly in the owners manual/dvd. I’m sure they can give you specifics. Also, they are wonderful about service so you might want to send it to them and they’ll do it or at least explain what needs to be done and give you an idea of cost. Also, there are a number of great “Bow Drs.” out there who could do it for you. One that I’ve used and had great experience with is Joe Latsch at Prairie Traditions (prairietrad.com).
Good luck and let us know how you make out.
Be well.

No worries Mike, that’s my job. I’m just sorry I didn’t check the forum sooner. The article by Jason Wesbrock is in the Download Library. Here is the link: Fixing Twisted Recurve Limbs
