Quintin 16 Report post Posted April 23, 2006 If you try and curve a composite blade, you'll heat up the foam in the blade and weaken it. So simply, don't curve your composite blade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkancho 6 Report post Posted April 25, 2006 I got one last year and I asked the same question but he said it might be possible if you heat it up slowly but I haven't been able to curve a composite blade without it breaking after a few shots. I tried to curve an inno blade and a ballistik blade. Hey stunner, I'll just let you use my procurve if you want to try it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SR27 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2006 You can recurve Vapor V blades without a problem. That´s all I know...I tried it on several partly broken blades including Vectors, Synergy´s, Xn10´s but they all would snap right away... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
