I'm new to this too, but the tiller looks pretty good to me!

That's very nice for your first bow! On your next one, try and reduce your tip mass. 1" is a pretty wide tip. If you make it smaller, your bow will be quicker and will have reduced hand shock, especially on the lower poundage bows.

Very nice for your first! Don't worry about prop twist, it held together and shoots ;)

Nice job on your first just remember on the next one to not let your bow sit on the tillering stick at full draw and heck it's better to not even draw the bow to full draw on the stick at all because it can over stress the belly and cause string follow /set letting it sit at full draw
