85#@30" Tri-Lam tiller check

(1/3) > >>

adb:
Just finishing up this bow. Tri-Lam: maple back, purpleheart core, osage belly. 85#@30". That's a 30" arrow I'm drawing to the head. This bow is long... 78" between the nocks. It's also narrow... 1 1/8" wide, and 1" deep. No prop twist. String runs nicely mid limbs.
Just needs finish sanding and nocks need smoothing out. I'm lookin for tiller comments. I think maybe the top limb just above my hand is pretty stiff. Bottom limb looks good to me. I had a bit of a hinge to deal with in the top 1/3rd of the top limb.
In my typical warbow shooting style, I've got my cheeks puffed up, with my usual grimace!!

fishfinder401:
i had to look really close, but the only improvement to the tiller i woudl do is getthe upper tip bending a little bit more, and maybe more bend in the handle, but that's when i look relly close, over all it looks great ;D

Ian.:
Nice bow, tiller looks fine to me, you can always try and tweak it a little but you have to accept a good tiller when you get one. Also A+ on the grin. Perhaps the only thing I would mention is the length, 78" for a 85lb @ 30" bow is generous, you could get away with 74".

Ifrit617:
I agree with your synopsis. Bottom limb looks great, top limb is a little stiff by the handle area.
