Title: Tiller check Hackberry #2
Post by: BarredOwl on September 15, 2014, 09:40:05 pm
I am thinking it is still a little stiff above my hand and top limb maybe a little stiff overall.  I rigged up a pulley and rope on the side of my shed and I still can't judge tiller that way.  I can have someone take a pic of my drawing and I can see right away where I need to work.  It is about dead flat when unbraced right now and the top limb has a minor kink about 1/3 down from nock barely shows when drawn

I am not drawing to what I intend to be full draw.  I am hoping to get at least 26" and maybe 27".  It is 56" nock to nock.  I think it would be solidly over 40# at 26" right now.  Hope I don't have to lose too much more weight.

I think it looks good. Does it balance nice?

It feels like the lower limb is maybe weaker.  Don't really know how to explain that but now I know what some of you are talking about being able to "feel" the tiller.  It is better than it was.
