If an hornbow had lost its original reflex shape (following string) due to the use, does it?s possible to get still its original bent ? Example: let it bent in opposite way for a time.

Thanks

If you unbrace the bow and place it in the sun, belly up, for three days in a row, you should see some of the reflex return. Usually you see a change in the first hour. The success of this method depends on the local humidity.
