Oak Board Pyramid Bow: Tillering Help
« on: April 18, 2012, 09:27:46 am »
Everyone's comments on the bow I'm working on was really helpful. My friend is building this one and asked that I put some pictures up so yall could comment on the tiller. Any suggestions would be great!

These are taken with a tillering string, we were wondering if it was time to switch to the actual bow string?

Looks real good. At 27" inches you should be at your desired weight. Brace her, give her several gentle pulls, and try an arrow.

Don't pull any farther on th long string. Get her braced(full brace now) and see how she looks.
  Once you get  6" to 8" on the long string brace your bow with a short string to about 4" to see how everything lines up.
  It does look like your left limb is stiff in the outter 1/3.

Ya I would brace it now, what Pat said but looking really good so far. :) May look a little different once it is braced. :)
