My friends bow I built for him at floor tilled.

Bud finished it himself. I laid up the bow on my mold and glued all and floor tilled. Bud did the rest. The bow is made of boo and ash with an accent of osage in handle and bison horn chips for the tip over lays. The bow weight is 50 pds at 28 inch and 68 inches at the knocks. Wondered what you think ?

It's hard to tell, but it looks to me like your tiller is uneven. The bottom limb has a hinge just below the fade, and the bottom mid-limb is very stiff. The top limb looks good, try and match the bottom to it.

Thanks for the advise, but the bottom tiller was done on purpose. It shoots like a dream and the lower limb gives it a kick. I wouldn't normally do this but this design usually ends up this way. lighter poundage it is more even, but slower.Denny Thanks Rich for the nice comment. Will work on the pics.

looks kind of out of whack might be the camera angle the tiller looks uneven the lower looks to be stiff.
