They do work good.Got the first sister finished tillering yesterday.I will have some pictures of the tiller in a day or 2 as soon as I get someone to take them for me.It turned out 53@26 and worked
out pretty good.Put about 25 arrows through it and it held about 1 in. of backset right after
unstrung and about 2 after a little rest.I only started with about 3 so thats pretty good.It also
shoots  hard and hits where you look.Had a little shock but I hadn't thinned the tips yet.
I thinned them down quite a bit but haven't shot it again to see if it helped.I think it will.
Now for it's twin. :)

Sounds like you are just having a blast. Wish I was there to watch all that fun.

Pappy:
Finely got around to getting some pictures.I had to tweak the tiller a little after shooting it some so see what you think.Got the skins glued on also ,now just need a grip and seal and sister 1 will be done ,hopefully this week. :) Also a couple of pictures of sister 2 on the tillering stick it had a hump
in the upper limb witch made it tough to see the tiller but it is coming along.See what yall think.

The first picture is the hump in the top limb and you can see how good the bottom looks.
