Nice looking bend. I think if I was just looking for 3 less lbs. I'd probably just start sanding it and shooting it in. Tillering looks pretty good to me. Maybe, just maybe top limb outer third of working limb. Wouldn't over do it though. It's really close.

31” of bend out of a 65” bow is great. Looks really good. Good luck with your late season hunt

The leavers are still full width and thickness currently, I will post a full profile when done I keeped this one a bit wider and longer in the lowers then my usaul to minimize set in the lowers at my long draw  it worked out on this one , this stave needed a lot of lateral correction and still is a bit off to the arrow side so I may leave it there and get this one center shot on the arrow side , I'm going to Effiletower the leavers as soon as I decide on string center I just ran out of shop time with work ! I only have pics current of the rear view just for view of where Im at currently !

I got a little more time to work this bow here is a better view of the front view , started narrowing & thining the leavers as Im shooting in got this one center shot its by far my most accurate self bow to date , cleaned up the tiller a bit more Im currently at 20.78 Oz Im thinking I can scoot in under 20 Oz ,this one is a rocket , I love the way these leaver bows shoot !

  Nice work Stick! Keep it coming man...Looks very balanced at this point...The upper looks a tad strong but I think it may be camera angle?

Thanks Burch ,I really hate tillering by pics because looks that way on one pic then you reverse the bow and take a pic it looks the same , But sense its shooting strait not much set & shoots shock free & dead accurate and holding 2" of reflex ,Im calling the tiller done ! I should have this one done next couple of week ends !
