String the bow the draw it a couple of times to settle the string.
Look along the string and see how it lays in the cut outs on the limb tips.
If the string is not true in the cut outs on the tips of the limbs then you MIGHT have a twisted limb.
How does this happen?
Sloppy stringing of the bow without a stringer.
Or limbs stored in hot conditions.

string the bow and then put the bottom limb on the floor and hold the top limb in hand sight down the string looking at the limb if twisted gently bend it the other way and hold it for a few seconds. Repeat for the bottom limb. You can also use warm water if it is twisted bad. Just be patient and take your time. When fixed hang it up on 2 nails or pegs by the string level. Never prop in a corner on the limb tip, or strig it up with out a stringer.

Right. then you take two arrows and slide one between the string and the tip of the limb at each end of the bow. Look along the the bow and check that the arrows are at the same angle. If the bow is twisted then the arrows will be at different angles.
