Hi all,I have a couple of questions on my Bear Super Kodiac 55# recurve bow.This was my first bow that I got when I was 15 years old. I hunted with it back then and I decided to paint it a camo pattern and sprayed paint all over it(was young & dumb) and never hunted with it for over 20 years and kept it in storage until last night when I read Steve's post about Bear recurve bows.I then went down in the basement and dug it out and decided that I would try to take off the paint that I put on it 25 years ago.I finally found some Xyelene that I put on a rag and with a lot of elbow greese and 1 1/2 hrs.of breathing this stuff the bow turned out just like it looked when I got it.What a beautiful bow!!! This bow was laminated with a strip of Purpleheart wood down through the riser and on the tips.
I then stopped at the archery shop today and purchased a new string,glove,stringer,arrow rest felt,and Puffs.
Now for the questions;(1)When I strung the bow up I found that the bottom limb has a twist in it. I would like to know if this will effect my shooting accuracy and is there anything I can do to try to correct this problem? (2)On the inner upper limb where it says Super Kodiac with Fascor there is a sticker in the shape of a sheild that said Victor and had a bullseye with wheat grain heads around the bullseye.What does this sticker stand for?
Any help with these questions would be greatly appreciated :) Thank You...SnS

The free,self-reliant,adventurous life,with its rugged and stalwart democracy;the wild surroundings,the grand beauty of the scenery,the chance to study the ways and habits of the woodland creatures-all these unite to give to...the hunter...peculiar charm.The chase is among the best of all national pastimes;it culivates that vigorous manliness for the lack of which in a nation,as in an individual,the possession of no other qualities can possibly atone."...Theodore Roosevelt
