I would have shaped the handle before tillering ,that way handle to fade transition is close,but that just the way I do it.

that's not bad man, its not perfect but considering that your fades weren't bending before i think you've accomplished a lot!

Tiller looks pretty even!still suggest protecting your eyes while shooting in! I always wear safety glasses when target shooting no matter how many arrows it's shot!this is coming from a guy that's been in the trades for 25 years and have seen preventable eye injuries!good job C!

Looks good! It appears that you are hooking it on the tree to take a picture. Hooking a bow on the tree for 10 seconds to take a pic is murder on a wood bow and will increase your set. Have someone take a pic for you so you could hit full draw for a minimal amount of time. I don't hook my bow past 18 to 20". This may help on your set.
