Here is my tiller. Seems all tje reflex pylled out and now its just a deflex. The reflex was natural for the most part, I hard to heat one limb to match it. Came out 48#@28.  I think I will try to put the reflex back in, but it shoots fine. Maybe I should just leave it?

Last ten inches to stiff . Narrow them. I don't know Lonnie Dyes web site but he builds those styles that don't take set. Good shooters also.

Also looks stiff at mid limb on the bottom. Pretty good though sleek. I am liking it. I tried a few but Lonnie can out tiller me it looks like. Mine took about 1 1/2 set which was more than the design I wanted. So I just build for set to happen . Arvin

Every single RD is different and pics don't help anything. The limbs need to bend evenly from the fades to where your reflex begins, no different than every other style bow. A deflexed bow is simply giving the limbs a head start on bending, evenly.  If your reflex is gone, odds are tillered too far down limb and wiped it out.
