+1000! I know! :) Thanks everyone for the positive comments, :). It does seem a bit whippy to me too. It so far has 1" of set on the upper limb, and about 3/4" on the lower limb. This is one of those bows that the tillering took so long, I eventually just gave up and waved the white flag/called it done, haha. It was longer, but the weight was too low for the length. So after piking it, it wanted to twist some. It had twisted before that, so I had corrected it by taking some off of one side of the belly like you do. But once again I had to correct it. And then the tiller needed more adjustment, etc. The thing that gets me is it seems to me the very center of the bow is bending a smudge too much? Like right in the center, 6" or so? But I guess you just have to be happy with what you got sometimes. I wonder if it will be shocky?

I'm with Del on this one...Every inch of limb is working. Thats the first thing I said to myself when I looked at her!
Once again, I can't get over those sexy slim horn nocks!
Well done.

Boo-tiful, Daniel. Nice one! To my eyes it looks like there's a stiff spot from around the centre to 8" out on the right limb, and POSSIBLY (not sure though) its bending a bit too much after that point (kinda where the white paint is on that beam) but you're a far better bowyer than I could hope to be, so it might be just my inexperience talking there.
Either way, it looks fast, and she's damn pretty.
