Default Got my fist recurve

I just got a Martin Jaguar recurve in from UPS. I ordered it from Cabelas. The owners manual says the limbs are marked for top limb and bottom limb. I can find no such mark anywhere. Both limbs look identicle. Does it make a difference? It also said to look out for twisted limbs. I cant imagine the limbs getting twisted. Will it be obvious? Recurve limbs must be delicate. I have always been a compound shooter and now want the challenge of no sights to get the job done.

Congrats on the new bow now the fun starts but becareful this trad stuff is adictive

I am not up to date on that model but the bottom limb should have the bow details on it, ie, bow lenght and draw weight etc.

Limbs are easily twisted if you dont know what you are doing when it comes to stringing the bow. Best bet is to get a stringer.
