Welcome to PA Luke.
What are dimensions? Is the upper limb longer? Got a pic of unbraced?
Looks like a nice bow and ought to get the job done.
Thanks for the posting.
Doobs

Welcome to PA.    Nice looking bow. Looks like the outer 2/3 of the top limb needs just a few more scrapes.
 The turkeys better not turn their backs on you.

yea the tiller might seem off but the bottom limb is slightly shorter and i did not have my hand placed exactly right because i had no arrow knocked but the stave has natural recurve in it and it is not exactly even but is seems to draw very even.
