They do work good.Got the first sister finished tillering yesterday.I will have some pictures of the tiller in a day or 2 as soon as I get someone to take them for me.It turned out 53@26 and worked
out pretty good.Put about 25 arrows through it and it held about 1 in. of backset right after
unstrung and about 2 after a little rest.I only started with about 3 so thats pretty good.It also
shoots hard and hits where you look.Had a little shock but I hadn't thinned the tips yet.
I thinned them down quite a bit but haven't shot it again to see if it helped.I think it will.
Now for it's twin.

Sounds like you are just having a blast. Wish I was there to watch all that fun.

Finely got around to getting some pictures.I had to tweak the tiller a little after shooting it some so see what you think.Got the skins glued on also ,now just need a grip and seal and sister 1 will be done ,hopefully this week.

Also a couple of pictures of sister 2 on the tillering stick it had a hump
in the upper limb witch made it tough to see the tiller but it is coming along.See what yall think.

The first picture is the hump in the top limb and you can see how good the bottom looks.

Pretty darn incredible Pappy! I stand in awe of yer ability to work with gnarly crooked staves.
That is quite the set you have there. Superb!

Thanks Dana,I am kind of glad to be done with these,I have been doing little by little for 6 months now.About another week and I will be completely done,all they need now is 4/5 more coats of sealer. :)then they are ready for the woods.

IMHO the mid and outer limbs could come round some more.

Hi Pappy

Truly impressive trio -- Almost too nice to take out.
But maybe I am just overly cautious since I swore off taking out with sisters ever again. Can't even imagine the trouble you could get into with three.
