Hi, I guess some experts just by the title knows the problem. I have an old bow whose is curved because of bad maintenance and I'm wondering if it could be repair (I'm almost sure that it is impossible but i'm asking anyway:P)I don't have any camera for taking a picture for the moment so it will wait but I think that exactely the experts will already know what is it.

Yes, bows can, and are, straightened and recambered quite often. This requires just the right amount of heat, and a practiced touch at doing the bending. There is a real possibility that the stick could break when trying this. Not something for an amateur to try. Depending on the value of the bow, it may, or may not be worth it to have it done. _________________ Doug Wall
