Yeah that is awesome that your girl is so excited about the bows Paul!
I am going to put skins on the sinew today and am a little hesitant, but have asked the kids if they want to help.
Who needs perfectly straight skins on their bow anyway?  :o :P

hammer, my eyes see your hold exactly where you want it to be. Opinions will vary but I totally disagree with lhf. I would though like to see the unbraced pic.

I took a minute to study the pic again.  I think you right Fred about where he is hand is on the string. It's got to be the angle he is standing. 
But If he can post an unbraced picture we could tell if the outer thirds are a little stiff or if there is  some reflex out there.

Hammer, I think you need to scrape the outer limbs a little bit about 4-6 inches in from the tips to almost half way up. 10-20 scrapes on each and then exercise it to about the same draw length.
Don't over scrape as you are getting real close.

Some of these younger guys have better eyes than I do for tiller so wait until a few of them chime in.

+1 on what Fred and Jooter said.  It won't take much bud.

Looking at it again I'd take twenty scrapes on the top limb and only 10 on the bottom both from mid limb out.

On the left limb I would scrape from shutter number six, up from the bottom to about 4' from the tip. It is stiff and needs to bend. Stay away from the Fades on both sides as you are not far from hinging both limbs. Then scrape from the thread wrap to about 4" from the end on the right limb.

You are almost there, now it's time to slow down. Don't get in a rhythm, scrape a little and check it on the tree.

I agree!  Bow is looking nice!
