he'll do your string better than anyone

as for the bow ? it will shoot well for you assuming the limbs aren't twisted or the lams damaged from excessive heat, abuse etc. You can look down the limbs and see twists, when strung you can really tell more though and you can straighten them with the "hot water" method

ask questions on that traditional forum, they will be answered
