I usually make mine symmetrical but don't think it matters, also when tillering be careful not to get the mid limbs bending to much, they will look more flat, I watch the top[or back of the limb] to judge the amount of bend. Cool design , one of my favorite , very smooth to draw and shoot. :)

My girls resting by the fire after a long day, putting the lower jaw back on the yote.  :) Super glue in the hinge first, then epoxy once it is set where I want. :)

Shawn and I jumped on scrapping a hide before the rain, it turned out nice, I have 3 more to get done before my shoulder repair, not sure how long I will be down but feel sure hide scrapping won't be on the agenda so need to get them finished this week. ??? :) Got the Deer and yote head skinned and ready to something with and my other 2 ready for a second coat of peroxide. They are looking good , just needed a little more whiting.  :)

I got 8 or 9 quarts of lard from the bear fat, got it a little hot so a little brown but still smells like beacon grease, that's what matters. :) :)I just thought I was catching up, a buddy came in with a buck [rifle killed] and another with another Yote , he didn't want the deer so of course I took it, skinned and boned it out and going to do something with the head/hide :-\ maybe just skull cap or might euro mount to hang around the shop. Really don't get these guy that shoot um but don't want them. ??? :-\ The Yote was shot up pretty bad with a 270 so I just saved the head.  :) Brats for lunch.  :)

It was great meeting and hanging out with you Paul, wished you could have stayed longer but enjoyed the time we had. :) Had a good weekend, it was kind of windy and rainy but most that I wanted to do was in the kitchen and shop. Biggest projects was to get the yot and cat head euro mounted and about 40 lbs of bear fat rendered, got that going and Jimmy Blackmon showed up with the bow he has been working on, 1 of Gary's old blanks Gary had sent him while he was in Afghanistan, he did it justice. :) :)

Out of the caul and looking pretty good.  I need to taper the tips into knocks and then check tiller on a long string.  Does a deflrx reflex bow have symetrical limbs or can I keep the upper limb  1-2" longer?
