In the days of wood limbs the bow would take a set (Not return to its origional position) if left strung. With todays carbon /foam limbs that is not the case, I used to measure /weigh my limbs every now and again just to check, I don't bother anymore because there was never any measureable difference.

Re- twists and brace height.
One or two twists might not make any difference if you have say 20 twists in the string, but if you have say 40 twists then a couple of twists could equate to perhaps 1mm, still not a lot but significant when it comes to fine tuning. Don't forget a difference in brace height will also effect the position of your nocking point.
