 So how do I go about fixing a limb twist the right way? I try manually "massaging" a reverse twist that seems to work a little, but it just goes back to twisted. I find the limbs are really stiff on this bow to be back twisting by hand. I have another 40#er with some twist that is really easy to hand twist, but again it isn't a permanent thing, yet, but maybe getting better. There has to be a more permanent and established method. I picked up this Westbow Jupiter, 40# @ 28" for $10. I put a string on it to try one day and was totally amazed at how quick it is and how well it shoots...except there's some limb twist (seems to be upper limb) and it needs to be re-finished (I've done a little CA gluing on some chips and a crack so far). I'd love to shoot this more often and still be on the safe side. If I can fix the twist, it may be my first bow refinish attempt....or it gets sent to 2 Bears. It's right-handed where I typically go left (left eye dominant) but have been shooting OK right-handed as well....Cary, I may have a weekly challenge for off-hand☺. I'll post a couple more photos a little later..

 Thats about it for pictures. There is also a couple holes from an old sight that need to be filled as well. Is there anything other than using CA glue that I should use to fill the holes? I'm thinking maybe adding a little fine wood dust from a sanded hardwood to the hole before gluing - any thoughts or ideas?
