What i mean is your pulling it 8" at 35#. Thats really hard to see what's stiff and what's not at 8". So instead pull the bow back untill it's at 45#. The limbs will be more bent allowing you to see the tiller better. With a gizmo though you don't need to pull it back super far for it to work efficiently. But it's still better if you pull it to what ever draw weight you want

But you NEVER PULL IT PAST YOUR DESIRED DRAW WEIGHT. It's capitalized because it's important 

[Deerhunter21]

Ok how to explain this well. Give me a sec.

[jamesh76]

45@ 17" exercised the snot outtake it inch by inch till I hit 45#

[Deerhunter21]

3 things you never do is
1. Pull it past tour draw weight you want
2. Pull it past you draw length
3. Pull  a bow farther than what the tiller will let you

So instead you pull it right to your desired draw weight unless it's past your desired draw length or the tiller is  off before you get to the draw weight.

[Deerhunter21]

Now to exercise the limb pull the bow to 17" about 40 times.

[jamesh76]

Not sure what spot to start with gizmo. I started at center limb. She has some set already....pics are left and right. Gizmo show the same you see? Stipp tips and outer 1/3

[Deerhunter21]

You want to first use the gizmo without the pencil and find the lowest (weakest) spot and then put the pencil to where itsbarely touching it

[jamesh76]

That's what I did, mid limb was about only spot incould.poke pencil out and get ends of gizmo against board. .

[jamesh76]

18# about 46#.

[jamesh76]

The braces it at just over 6. Exercised and I better stop till I get a response.  Looks like a hinge when braved about 6-8" out from fade on left side? I'll put the gizmo on and see. Not sure where to remove wood or fix hinge. Tips still stiff? Pulled ton19@ 45

[jamesh76]

Ok. As a newbie, I believe I need to thin between the left side where it looks like it is stiff? Between fade and about 8" out towards that bend?

[willie]

work only on the right limb. the left does not look bad, but you are too straight on the right

[jamesh76]

Will do, I will thin it down.
 Thanks.

If you can find a way to put it on a tiller stick to hold the bow drawn long enough to trace the back. and then flip it side for side, you will see the difference easily.

try not to keep it on the tiller stick any longer than needed to do a quick trace and don't draw it more than what you did in the bottom pic. you have quite a bit to adjust on the right but you left may need to do no more for a while on the left at all.

[jamesh76]

Here again..... still working on right side.
