Good work you mouthy little turd!

For your info I wasn't prancing fairy like through the woods. I was manning up and carrying 33 grueling pounds in my pack for 15-16 miles!...;)

Take Scott's advice and be mindful of the early weight and string tension. It will make your bow feel like 80# when really its 60#. The key to statics is getting them braced short and as soon as possible. Wait too long and you get a 35-40# bow you may not want.

 You're right, a little flat spot, right smack in the middle of the upper limb.

How many lbs is it pulling right now at 28"??

And what was your n2n dimension when you got done?

Tiller looks good by my eyes I maybe a greenhorn but I'm anal about symmetry and such... Bait obsessive compulsive... All my life I've had a need to straighten out objects on tables, pictures on walls, re arrange fridge magnets and such...

Getting into bow making I guess will channel my weirdness into something productive??  ???
