sorry for the dormant  period,  i  finally ordered a spool of ff, it should be in by Thursday or Friday, so expect some short string action and maybe a braced picture in the near future
thanks for following this

ok,  heres a draw to about 26ish inches, i think i need a little off the top, but please scrutinize away ;), i think it came in a little lighter than i would like, mabey 100 or a little more, but its a blast to shoot, the absolute fastest bow I've made yet ;D
thanks

my guess is around 100ish, i haven't put it to its full brace height, its still at around 5ish inches, so its going to hopefully pick some more weight and speed up once its at a brace height of 6-7inches
thanks

by the way, today while at the new england primitive skills gathering, i put a bodkin over an inch into solid wood with it, and one split the bottom 1/4 in of a 4/4 off :o

If you halt the vid at dull draw, it looks a bit whip ended and the lower limb is looking in danger of getting a tad hingy (at about 3/4 along the limb).

I athink Del has it.

If you stop the video at 5 seconds you get a good look at the tiller just before loose, the lower limb is stiff until a bit under 3/4 length when it appears to hinge. and then shows whip from there on.

I think you need to do more work on the lower limb while keeping clear of the hinge onwards.

Best of luck

Ditto to what Del and Craig have both said about the tiller. Also, the draw weight will not increase when you increase the brace height and nor will the speed. There is an optimal brace height for each bow depending on the length and style.

With regards to your shooting style, make sure you're getting that arrow all the way back. I see a few inches you could be getting an enemy with.  ;D

It appears your bow has a hinge or the beginnings of a hinge on the bottom limb about a foot from the tip, and for the most of the bow it is flatish and not working enough. This could end up braking your bow. You can see this in your video if you pause it at full draw.
