The top limb looks good, the bottom is bending too much just out of the fade and a little stiff in the outer third.

Ok thanks Eric the outer third is 9 in. of static limb it's hard to see in the pic , this type bow can be a head scratcher for me if I flip the bow over it is almost the same looking profile & the bow measures the same at brace less the 3/16 positive tiller

Pictures can throw things off. If you really want to see detail, look at a picture and squint, this gets rid of a lot of background and other things that confuse your eyes. I learned that in an art class I took years ago when I was learning to paint the duck decoys I was making.

Looks like the static outers are getting the job done well. Are the tips exaggerated, as with the molly style? , or for that matter, Is there much more to be gained with Eiffel tower or recurved style static tips?

I think that anything that lightens the tips short of breaking or instability is a good thing. That said I also think that once you get up to 170 or so the improvement come 1 fps at a time. For those that aren't speed freaks it becomes unimportant and they'd be better off with durability.

I agree entirely.

about the photo,, the camera distorts images a bit,, and the cant of the bow comes into play,,
when i hold up a straight edge to the photo,, i can see the tiller pretty good,,, and if it was my bow I would be hesitant to make adjustments made soley on the photo,, i would have to see it in person,, and study it like that,, also I would have to study the unbraced profile and the feathering of the grain,, etc etc, etc,,,,, the photo give a good general idea,, but I would not scrape wood based on it,,

if the bow was not taking any more set,,, and teh profile was stable, I would make that my key indicator,, and how the bow shoots trumps all that for me,, :)

Thanks every body Willie this bow is a half parallel half pyramid design with statics 9 in worth  so the tips tapper mid limb to the tips and the static tips also tapper in thickness I did not narrow the statics in width only in thickness other then pyramid but if you weight the bow as your taking off wood its amazing how much weight are left in the tips ,with raw hide I ended up at 20.67 oz. George its the phone camera distortion there the same length , DC I was not chassing speed per say I was just trying to make a late season below zero hunting bow with the idea if I short draw from wrong postion shot or just plain being to cold I would still have good arrow speed not changing trajectory to much on 20 yard shots. I have the big brother of this bow at 68 in and going to be 52 lb all ruffed out ready for tiller it will be interesting to see the difference between this one & the longer heaver version.
