Tiller check please

I agree Dano,everything gets stiff words to live by

Papa Matt dis is a deer bow, she shoots hard and fast

cracker its starting into fall up here in da UP

Okie I can shoot it right side up or upside down, left or right hand I'm not kiddin either but it seems to shoot best with the upside up

I will take a few scrapes on that limb tommow and also take a bit of the sides on the last third to lighten the mass a tad.

Thanks for the input guys

Hy da temp jus got to da 89 fer a couple days. Back to da 90s today.Still pretty hot eh.

I ain't commenting....I gets myself in trouble everytime I critique a Bow.......so.....It looks really Nice Dana!!!   

[Ranger B]

Dana, I agree with everyone else on the upper end and also personally I like a little bend further up the limb...but many others don't.  If it were jimmy I'd take just a tad off the last 1/3 of both limbs.

What are you doing in a long sleeve shirt?  Is it already cool up there?

[El Destructo]

Dats Yooper Apparel....You wear Flannel Shirts from August to April..... Den you wear Long JohnTops with T Shirts over dem and  Cut Off Jeans till  Summer starts....


Have you got you first Freeze there yet Dana??? My Brother in Ishpeming.... lost most of His Garden the beginning of the Week to overnight frost....but then it got back up in the 70's for a High

Looking good Dana.  I would be happy with it.  But I do notice the top limb a bit stiff after others mentioned it.  But like I said I would be more than happy with that tiller.

Great looking bow, Dana. Is it finished for BOM. You might give me a heads up if not. Not bookmarked for BOM - I'm away from my personal computer.

[DanaM]

EMike it only got down to 44 here by Lake Michigan, we usually don't get frost till later in Sept, I know low lying inland areas got frost, and yup trees are starting to change, weeds are dying back etc. Winter is coming

Ranger B I'm eaither wearing a flannel or have one nearby all year Ya never know what the conditions will be around here I've seen 70 degrees in January and snow in July

Ok apparently my top limb is stiff Don't sound bad to me hehehehehe

[GregB]

Dana, didn't read all the other replies, so I'm probably repeating comments here...looks to me like the bottom limb is bending a little more then the top. As long as you have the weight to work with, you might get the top limb matching...

[cowboy]

Dana, man - I think I'd scrape that top limb a little .

[George Tsoukalas]

What does the unbraced tiller look like? Jawge

[DanaM]

Pretty straight George maybe an inch of reflex

[Pappy]

What everyone else has said.Top limb ,middle 1/3.Bottom looks good. Don't knock short draws. A man has to work with what he has been given.

It is interesting to see everyones critique on a good tiller, tring to make it even better.   What I would say is... How long is the bow? you said it was short but how short.  That might make me want to take a scrape or two right at the top fade.  Also what Jawge said about the un braced profile.   Other than that I think  the top limb is just little stiff in the outer 1/3.
Just my 2 cents.

[Mark Smeltzer]

I just found where you said it was 58".  Personally when I go that short I try to get them bending right out of the fades, the top fade looks a little stiffer than the bottom.   
BTW. The last dozen or so bows I have made I used the digital camera for a check during the last few inches of tillering. You can really study the tiller better.
Again just my preference.
