I've got an old Ben Pearson recurve that I've had since the sixties. One side has more of a curve than the other (not always this way) and I'm wondering if there is a way of putting a little more curve back in on the one side or should one look at taking it out of the opposite side?
Thanks

Hey Visle , describe the curve (I hope it is a twist ) . There are some fixes .

Nope,it's not a twist. One half has a more pronounced curve (arc).

Hey Vanle , the glue between the laminates has allowed them to slip . This usually is caused by heat such as the bow left in a vehical . I am not aware of a fix for this . However extreme tillering with nock set placement may make it shootable but awkward looking .Hang it on the wall and if you wish buy another used one . Go to Tradgang.com for good deals complete with photos .
Cheers
