Justin Snyder:
Look at the lines at the tips. The right limb is bending farther than the left. You need to get them bending the same distance. I would remove the wood from the area between the marks on the inner limb. (excluding fades) Justin

Minuteman:
So NOW that I got 'em bending mostly even I should worry about how far each limb is bending?
Justin if I take wood off both limbs won't they just keep bending the same distance ?How will removing wod from the areas you suggested change the distance the limb travels? I need to make that connection.
I saw the stiff spots you arrowed for me, so I guess I ain't as bad off as I'd thought! ;D
More Pics tomorrow.

Justin Snyder:
I would remove it only from the left limb until they are close. Or remove 5 scrapes from the right limb and 10 from the left. Did I ever mention EXERCISE THE LIMBS A LOT. Justin
Minuteman:
Well I did like ya said, :o Took some from the right and 2x some from the left. And exercised it a bunch 30 or more times after every wood removal. Heres what I've come to'
Its at 24"( from 4 1/2" brace height) and ~38-39 # Shootin for 50 or at least high 40's.
Left limb looks pretty good as far as I can see. the right one just got away from me somehow. I couldn't get the left limb to come around enough tomatch the right. Right limbwas 2" longer than te left so I cut off the nock ( about 5/8" ) and recutthe nocks hoping that would stiffen it up some and keep it from bending so far. Didn't seem to help a thing.
Is there a chance of getting 45# outta this thing? What do ya normally gain in the last few inches of draw, 2#/"
If I could get 8 more pounds in the last 4 " I'd be happy, that and even it up a bit.
This tillerin stuff is rough.

Justin Snyder:
How far apart are the lines on the tillering tree? Is that weight and the picture before or after you piked the bow 5/8". Do you specifically want the bow to have one limb longer than the other. I am quite sure you can get 6# in 4 inches. But the tiller needs fixed. Justin
