I got my wife a 45# Bear Black Panther for her starter bow and it has slightly twisted limbs(it was pretty cheap). How twisted is considered unsafe. It strings up okay. it shoots okay. The only thing I don’t like is that after shooting it the string is to the right of the string groove on the upper limb.

Go to the home page and on the left side is a tab for the download library. Click on it and there is a article for twisted limbs. I copy and past the below onto your browser and it might take you to it.

I used the process on a bow I have and it worked great.

Good luck

Few years ago I resolved same problem as fallow :

Heat twisted limbs on boiling water

Then strait them with both hands keep them straight during cold limbs under cold water

It works . Of course this is possible with wood and glass fiber limbs

Modern high quality limbs with carbon do not twist
