So, you can decide how much the tiller (and limb timing) is affecting.

Ah, thanks... I thought I'd seen some videos, but couldn't find them!
Looks like the limbs return together but there is some vibration and rotation at the grip (other views are also available  ;) )

Eric Krewson:
I always repeat my findings that wood is wood, nothing consistent about a stave from one end to the other, as bowyers we have to adjust for this inconstancy or we will have a shocky bow even if the measurements are perfectly alike limb to limb. That is one reason I like sister billets for a bow because they are more identical, most of the osage staves I have cut have wider rings at what was the tree's base compared to the ring structure 6' up the trunk.

Limb timing can be an issue with wheel bows for sure.
