locate the center of the bend, block it up on each side of the bend, and press it back into alignment. What do you have to loose.
A big "C" clamp 8 or 10" will have lots of power to do it, or a good bench vice. There are many ways to jig it up and press it back . If it is a cast riser it may decide to break, but it's already broke, if its a machined riser there should be no problems tweeking it straight.  |
Thanks for the idea, that could definitely be an option. I am a bit nervous shooting this afterwards as bending it back would likely introduce further weakness/fatigue to the metal at the bent point. I would hate to have the bow blow up on me. Definitely going to look into this though, since I don't have much to lose in this case.
Has anyone had experience ordering just a riser only from Hoyt?
