hi guys just wondering if you could offer some helpfull (as always) advice. the recurve i got recently (tamars impala takedown @50lb) has a tendancey for the string to lay not so perfect with the string groove (ie to one side slightly). no matter how i string it up (ie adjusting the limb position) after a practice draw the string always ends up a little off center. but when i shoot it the problem isnt so bad, and the string will end up in the groove ok. maybe this is from the forces excerted during the shot? i've since had a look at the string grooves on the problem bottom limb and i believe the groove is a tiny bit more shallow on the side that the string follows. so should i file a bit of material from this groove to correct the problem or is there somthin else i should be doing? its a cheap bow so i'm happy to experiment a little if need be.
