Greg, from the picture I would say it has plenty of twist to take out a few.  ;) Justin

sorry if I didnt explain it right. I got it tillered on low brace and once i brought it up to full I noticed the limb was stiff, but i shot it anyway I couldnt resist, but i only pulled it back about 2 inches and I was only about 1 or 2 yards away from the target

david w.:
pappy, the weight is about 35# at 22" so hopefully i can get a 40lbs bow.  My draw length is 28"

TRACY:
There are a few DVDs that teach how to build Flemish strings. The one that I used was called DOIN' THE TWIST and found it to be a useful tool. These guys demonstrate multiple techniques to accomplish the same task. I would recommend learning to make your own strings or at least use the bowyer's knot and a plaited loop string. Your bow looks a lot better than my first, wish I had access to this site when I started. Lots of great advice and experience. Good luck!

Pappy:
If it is 35@22 you shouldn't have a problem getting 40@28 mine usually will pick up between
and 3 lbs. pr inch. so you should have at a minim 12 to15 lbs to work with so get the limbs working even and you will have a fine bow there. :)
