Tiller help

What do you think?

[Ryano]

It's really hard to tell with out a solid back ground behind the bows limbs. Can you take a better picture? It looks stiff right out of the fades to me and working a little hard in mid and outer limbs.

[Dano]

Not bad, both limbs look pretty even. I would get them bending more out of the fades soon tho.

[Justin Snyder]

I have to agree with Ryan, its really hard to see.  I also agree it might be bending a little much at midlimb and not enough at the fades or tips.  We really cant tell you anything without seeing the unbraced profile.  A solid background will make it easier to see the tiller also.  Justin

I agree too, left limb looks almost hingy at 3/5 way out.  Right limb is a little smoother, but both are too stiff near the fades.

I wold work the inner limbs and then maybe string the bow to a low brace and measure the degree of bend by running a short straightedge (3 or 4", like a drivers license or something) and look at the gap under the edge.  It will tell you where things are flat and where they are bending harder than the rest.  It works well except right at the fades.
