Title: Tiller Check!
Post by: Ifrit617 on May 19, 2013, 08:19:50 pm

Hey guys,

Haven't built a bow in a while and I finally got an urge to do so after making my PVC creation. Just wanted to see what you thought of this tiller. Pyramid front profile. If you think its good I'll pretty her up.

1 1/8" wide through the handle
straight taper to 3/8" tips
red oak
1" inch resting set.
45#@27"

Let me know.

Jon

It doesn't get much better than that.  What was the length on that bow?

Very nice.  My only critique is it's usually easier to aim with your eyes open ::) ;)

How did you manage to get that lined up so well?!  (arrow parallel with rail, etc?)  I always end up a little off-angle tryna do that lining up for the picture thing.

tiller looks spot on to me! only thing i can see is the top limb is bending just a bit more than the bottom. but thats ok if your looking for a positive tiller. can't wait to see her finnished :laugh: SS
