Title: BL character bow, would appreciate tiller critique
Post by: huisme on January 30, 2014, 09:07:46 pm

This thing has been messing with my eyes :o I'm happy with the bottom limb, and the upper limb isn't showing any signs of being overstressed in any particular areas, but this is going to someone who's done a lot for my family and I'm taking every step to make sire it's at its best.

That's a good looking bow. Looks good at brace, at full draw it seems the upper limb might be longer, is this true. Also from the full draw it seems the outer 2/3 of the lower limb is doing most of the work, maybe get it bending a wee bit more coming out of the handle. What,s everyone else think?

Yeah, the upper limb is longer. It's more narrow, so I figured it'd need the length to match the bottom limb. Now that you mention it I have to agree that the bottom is a little too whip tipped.
