I've paper tuned it, although the flight path of the arrows also seems to have become somewhat more unstable lately so I was planning on paper tuning again to confirm, no need now.
Good point on the cock vane, that could be a good way to help clear the cable. I'm just not sure if the bow is worth "saving" as looking back in seems to be getting worse.
I'm going to contact Hoyt to see if they will do anything about it. I don't expect them to warranty, but maybe they'll help me out on a new bow.

If Hoyt won't help you have nothing to loose by bending it back straight. It's already broke .
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.
