Tell me what you think
Pappy:
Here are some pictures I took while working on it yesterday of the profile and braced and all the way out to 21 inches.it is 46@21 now .I took the pictures from one side and then the other side view so folks could see the difference.One way it looks pretty good and the other it don't.I agree
full draw is really all that matters but getting it there without getting a hinge when you can't see
it is tough.See what yall think about this. :)

Pappy, I agree...I think this is a tougher bow to tiller then your snake bows were(not that they weren't difficult as well). If you look at the "whoop-de-doo" limb while unstrung, it looks like after coming out of the dips the mid and outer limb are slightly deflexed or out-of-level with the other limb. I think this is a result of the natural dips in the limb coming out of the handle 12" or so.
Does it make sense that maintaining that slightly deflexed attitude difference from the other limb during tillering should allow the bow to stay balanced overall??? If you try to counter it by thinning the other limb to "catch up", your "whoop-de-doo" limb will probably actually be somewhat stiffer then what your normal stiffness should be between an upper and lower limb. I'm probably making no sense at all...difficult to put into words! ;)
armymedic.2:
with a snake in a limb like that isn't it more liable to twist with pressure on it? or is limb twist caused more by stringing it improperly (without stringer) than the woods characteristics?
