Started working on this bow again a few weeks ago. Here’s a few pictures of it now I’ll add more pictures later today

A few more pictures
70” long 49 lbs at 27”. It’s been keeping about 2” of reflex throughout tillering and some shooting. Right side in picture on tiller tree is the bottom limb

Very nice bow with good tiller. There seems to bit a little bit of hinge right off the left handle but not too bad.

Run some calipers along that spot and see if it is thin. It could just be the character of the stave unless it shows up as obvious localized set when the bow is unstrung.

Looks good, and honestly there is such a thing as good enough. But, if you are bothered by how the left limb bends more, you can hit it with a heat gun to heat treat the area that bends a little more than the rest and stiffen that limb up to match the right limb. But, if it shoots well, and you are happy, by all means, leave it alone! Two inches of reflex are a hard amount to get and keep. Well done.

Thats exactly what I am seeing as well. Not too bad, and if he is maintaining a full 2 inches of reflex, its obviously not hurting much if anything. I dont know which way is up, but Id make the left limb the upper limb and call her done.

  I don't see any hinge, tiller looks good to me. Nice job.

Left limb in picture is the top limb. I’ll look it over good and do some more checking with my gizmo and see how it looks. Seems to shoot okay. I’ve only shot 15-20 shots though it so far.

Thanks for the input.

Keep shooting. Can you get a full draw pic with you pulling the bow?

Pats request will tell the full story.
