Knoll, yes, it's the same width as my string grip.

I draw the bow and have my wife snap a pic. I use a calibrated arrow to know my draw length and a scale for weight. There is a thin line center of my phone screen my wife uses to line up exactly with the arrow for perfe t photos every time. The I use the edges of my phone screen to line the tips up on. If one bend more than the other, one limb tip will touch my screen edge before the other. I thinking about making a laminated grip on my phone screen to remove when not in use. Then when looking at other peoples tillers I can judge it very well with a grid if I wanted too.

Portability is good.  Do you have rope/pulley setup to pull the string?

Like the photos in background! Can't see the group pic well enough to determine what team it is. I had the LeMond pic in my garage when living in PA.  Those were my competitive cycling years.

Don ... it appears your setup is not attached to the wall.  How have you stabilized it?

Thanks, again, for taking the time to post pics of your tillering setups.  I have lotsa choices to pick/choose from!

I need all the help I can get tillering so I use a grid- albeit a torn paper one taped to 1/4" OSB.   No wall space in the shop so the tree is clamped either to the wood storage rack or to one of the legs of the work bench.

I like a fulcrum thingee to rest the bow on.  A composite pics a bow on a fulcrum and on a flat one is below.   The fulcrum really shows the bad tiller.  ::)

Its kind of strange its tough to get a bow thats between 62" and 66" to pull anywhere beyond 45#-55# .........@ 28".  I don;t think I have seen a bow pulling 60# plus @28  with a NTN at 64".  If so please direct me there.....?
