Tillering mistake pulled it further then expected

How much set did you get? Jawge

Pat nailed it.  Concentration and Fresh Perspective are your best bow building friends. If they have left the shop, I follow them out the door.  If I push thru without them, Jacked Up almost always shows up.

Can I use this if i give you credit?....I seem to like building jacked up stuff just to see how screwy i can make something and still have it function....Paul

Sure. I’m sure I borrowed it from someone.

i got an inch and a half of set i heat treated it gonna give it a couple days before pulling it

so i just finished retillering the bow and now its pulling 46#@28 but i havent piked it or flipped the tips. but i reduced string follow to 1 inch from 1.5 so that good i guess. Gonna finish it up and seal it if i don't pike the bow first and then post pics.

Heck, I'd leave it alone and shoot it as it is. But, if you want to learn about piking and tip flipping,  go for that also. If you flip the tips, piking becomes unneeded often times.

1.5" would have been just fine. Jawge
