Osage Kids Bow... Need Check Please

[bowhntineverythingnh03743]

Hello all-
  This is my 9th attempt at a selfbow and it is a kids bow. I have had this stave for about 4 years now and figured I would attempt a kids bow since I haven't had any success with an adult. I want to give this to a lil buddy of mine who is turning 6 this August. Can you help me out with some advice with the tiller. The top limb seems stiff now looking at the pictures mid limb out. I flipped the tips on this bow... that is also a first... Any comments are welcomed! I am looking to get it to 15-20# at 20 inch draw so that he can grow into the bow and it lasts a while. Right now I am 20# at 11 inches to I have a bunch of weight to remove.

Thanks guys for the help along with way with this bow....

You could get mid limb of the top limb bending more. That should drop a few pounds too.

Yes you need to get the mid to outter limb out towards the tips bending more

Ok tomorrows goal will to be even out the bend in the upper limb... My question to you guys though is since I flip the tip should I stay away from thinning up the last 6 inches. I thought that the idea of flipping the tips would be to have a stiffer tip and to have it be more of a straight limb the last 1/3 of the limb. Maybe I am wrong and if someone could chime in I would appreciate it!

yes leave it alone were you reflexed the tips, if you thin them to much it will pull the reflex out.

What Pat and Ken said should do the trick.
