Ok since a lot of you are saying it looks okay and I agree with Mike that I just might tweak it to oblivion, I'm going to leave it.  I'm making this bow for a friend and well kind of wanted it perfect.  He'll never know the difference, especially since it shoots VERY nicely, but I'll always know it's a little off.  I guess that will just give me an excuse to make him another one. 

Of the two pics which limb should I use as the top? 

Radius.  Not sure what you mean about, you thought I'm a K9 Handler?  Yes I was a K9 handler a year and a half ago.  And yes, I know I look 14  ;D I'll appreciate it when I'm 40.  I've gained a little weight since then as well and well that doesn't help make me look any older.

Thanks for all the help guys.

Nate

The bottom limb is shorter is it? Other than that looks good. Mark a pencil line at the end of the fades and make sure the wood just starts to move there. Jawge

I know George I was thinking the bottom limb looks shorter too, but it's actually not.

The tiller looks fine to me also. Shoot that sucker till your arm falls off.
Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you made a bad decision.

Radius,

Like I said.  I was a dog handler.  Graduated the USBP's National Canine facility in 2006.  I moved to Arizona from New Mexico and was not eligible for a lateral transfer.



This is just a skinnier version of me.  I hate fat cops so kept in shape.

And once a dog handler always a dog handler.  I'm training one of my current malinois for private security/detection work and plan to have him working by next summer.

If you think that's bad then i'm not going to post any pictures of my bows.

if it shoots good and there's no hinges, that's what matters to me.
