How can I fix this
pierce_schmeichel:
I know this input won't really help with fixing it but will definitely help with this problem in the future, but I personally like to just make the handle section wider because if you don't have both sides of each limb tillered to the same thickness it will always warp over to the side like that and even if you heatcorrect it it will eventually bend back. But to be honest at the same time your bow is pretty long and I'd say it would have probably been safe to just leave it with the bend in it. Like Pat B said earlier it just helps make the bow a little more center shot.
On shorter bows that are meant to bend through the handle it matters a lot more because then the bow would be putting tension on one side of the limb and then it is putting tension onto wood that is more vulnerable to breaking under tension.
