I would like to get a few opinions on the tiller of this bow. I'm going for slightly stiff handle d bow, and I'm thinking the left limb needs to bend a bit more in the inner third, but I'm not sure. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Mike.
P.S. the little squares on the board are 2x2.

Mike, she's looking good so far. Work a bit more on the right limb. The left limb also looks like it is bending a bit much at mid limb so don't touch that area until other areas are bending better. I would leave the handle area alone until you're done getting the limbs bending evenly and together. Then you can remove a little at a time until you get the handle area bending as much as you want.

By the time you get the right limb evened up with the left, you may be good to go.

I think you are bending a little much on the left outer limb. If you count the squares the left is stronger for the first 1/2 then takes a sharp dive. Tiller the inner limb on the left and the entire limb on the right. Justin

Tiller the left limb and leave the right limb alone. When ya satisfied with the left tiller the right ta match. Then tiller both ta get the draw weight ya want.................bob
