Nice :)... pretty combo (the woods not your outfit ::) )

That lower limb is looking a bit hingy....
You need to spread the bend up towards the handle.
Can you see it in the full draw picture?
-
+1 mike, that bottom fade to mid limb needs a little removal.
-
Sweet bow none the less man
-
Nice finish work on your bow; really like the tips. Good looking bow.
-
Nice contrasting colours, looks pretty cool.
I wouldnt say its hingy at all, bottom limb just looks a tad weaker.
I bet if you flipped it upside down it would look better, but a little too late I guess

Thanks guys...even for the criticism lol

You are correct, I think that it is a result of being drawn off center. I flipped the bow back and forth many many times on the tillering tree, the limbs actually do bend evenly.

Ya I did that on my first few too. Getting your last few inches with the bow in hand instead of the tree solves that. If your alone, just film yourself and pause it or take screen shots. It works pretty good!
