If the bow is symmetrical, it may be bending more simply because of the way you shoot it. I don't really know of course, but this is what I expect in my own bows. Maybe because the arrow is above center making the top limb bend more to be equal with the bottom limb while you draw. ? I don't know.

These short little "westies" are getting under my skin and I have just the right piece of osage to try one.  This bow may be the inspiration I need to get after it!  Nice stiff draw weight for that length, I would have imagined a fair amount of set by now!  Good work.

One question, why two layers of linen?  I'd be afraid of adding more physical weight to the bow with the second layer.
