Tell me what you think

--- Quote ---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?
--- End quote ---
As long as the overall limb doesn't rotate to the side it should be okay. Sections of the limb can as long as those sections are countered by the rest of the limb and the tips are squared or in the same plane with each other. I don't think Pappy has a propellar problem, cause he would quickly take care of that with dry heat and rotating it out.
A slight amount of natural "propellar" usually doesn't cause a problem, although I try and remove it using dry heat early on. ;)
Badger:
Pappy, I like those stiff outer limbs as long as it isnt taking set, if it looks like a little set is starting I just get some more bending limb working down the limb furter, I try to keep at least the last 1/3 of the limb rigid, even a little more if I can get away with it. Steve
Pappy:
Greg maybe you can explane what you mean in person this weekend,I can't grasp what you are saying,need to think on it.Steve I have noticed that in some of your bows and that is kind of what I had in mind on this,just with the humps and dips I though I may need to use a little more limb.
I gave it a break yesterday but plan on getting back on it Sat.I will keep yall updated. :)

deerstand:
im kinda new at this , and this may be a dumb question, why not just make the stiffer limb with bumps the lower limb. i had to deal with pin holes in a hickory bow, so i left wood around the holes for strenght but it made the limbs stiffer, i simply made that my lower limb.
Rich Saffold:
When I flex the limb when floor tillering I just make sure a section like this moves with the rest of the limb.
