Ryano:
Im with Dano, about two or three pounds. You might be able to just pike the weak limb and ajust the tiller. What kind of glue did Keenan use for the overlays? you might be able to pop them off and reuse them.

I was thinking about that. I could make it asymetrical as both limbs are presently the same length. That would probably fix it and add a few pounds.

Not sure how I could salvage Keenan's tips though.

StanM:
Gordon,

There is a formula in TBB1 in the tillering section by Jim Hamm for the amount a bow needs to be piked to pick up a given amount of weight.  I don't remember it offhand, but if you'd like I'll e-mail it to you tonight.

Gordon:
That would be great Stan. Thank you.

Gordon:
I didn't think I could match the tips properly so I ended up piking both limbs. After giving myself enough room to clear the existing string groves, room for the new tip ends and taking a little more off the weak limb I ended with with 61" ntn. That's a little shorter than I like but it is what it is. Hopefully I won't need to adjust the tiller too much and we can keep most of the weight gain.
