I actually think you improved that spot.  If you could hit that R midlimb just a bit, it should even up the limbs.  Also, you might want to post a hand-drawn photo.  That right limb is upper, yes?  Have you tried flipping it and shooting it that way?

Looks better to me, you have a stiff spot from the end of the stained part in about 6". It will show if you run a gizmo (assuming you have one) down the limb. If you get this spot bending your former hinge will be nonexistent.

TimBo, right limb is the upper, correct.  I designed it so the string is off-center to the right, so I can't flip it.  (I'm a lefty)
So, give the belly a few scrapes in this area here?

OK, the latest.  Looks better, I think.  (?)  The difference is so subtle it's really hard for me to tell.  But Eric's gizmo isn't showing any stiff spots at brace or half draw, so that's got to be good.  What's everybody think?  Should I just finish this thing already?



Whatever the case, I hope everybody has a wonderful Christmas full of loved ones, peace, a bit of adventure if that's what you're in the mood for, and some killer archery gear under the tree.    ;D

I'm not an expert but for me is pretty much spot on! Great job!

That’s looking better to me wb. I don’t know how much that effected your draw weight, but I think it will help that hinge area hold up longer.
