The Mechanics of Limb Twisting Explained - An Experiment
gstoneberg:
How bout another test? I've always tried to fix twist by removing wood from the side of the limb towards the tip on the weaker side. Is that really correct? I guess what I'm asking is for you to use conventional techniques to fix that bow and document it. The last time I tried it I made it worse, so obviously I did it wrong.

gstoneberg If you have your bow strung and see that it is pulling to one side or the other when looking down the limb you remove wood from the side that it is pulling towards of the side of the limb to bring the tips closer to center, this works well if the tips are not perfectly aligned with center of the handle. I have had to do this at least 50 times on laminated bows and has always worked like a charm.
