Hi everyone, first post on the forum, recently joined after lurking for some time.
I noticed recently that the string was not lying correctly in the top limb groove. The set up is Samick Ideal riser and Samick Impress wood/fibre limbs making a 70 inch bow of 28lb. The riser, limbs and string are all relatively new purchased together in March this year. Using the Beiter limb guages and lining up the string with the limb bolts I can achieve a good line up on three of the marks but never four no matter how I alter the limbs on the riser using the lateral adjustment. I read the sticky on limb alignment and placing two (unbent) arrows accross the riser and with the help of an assistant I found that there was a 1 cm discrepancy between the right and left side of the bow. I've got the alignment down to the best I can but the string does not look to be lying cleanly in the groove.
I've read Minamotos thread and at the risk of repeating that I don't know where to go next. Given all of the above, does this mean that either the riser is bent or one or both limbs are twisted? Hoping some of the more experienced forum members can advise.
Thanks
