tiller check - ash backed sage r/d

(1/2) > >>

snedeker:
I'm in year 22 of bowyering but am a little rusty on r/d's.  Osage backed osage.  Two spliced short pieces taken out of rough split timber piece with circular saw.  Light density sage.  63" ntn, 1&3/8"wide.  Tips about even with back at grip unbraced.  Pulling a little over 50# here at 24".     More work on outer limbs?

pierce_schmeichel:
Hmm from the angle in that picture it looks like your lower limb is bending a good amount more than the top limb. I would personally either flip the bow to make that top limb the bottom limb or I would remove material from the top limb. And yeah I would also remove a bit from the outer limbs as well.

superdav95:
Yup.  I’d get those outers bending more. 

Pat B:
Hey Dave. It's been a while. Great to see you back at it.  :OK
 I'd think your combo should make a nice shooting bow.

snedeker:
Thanks and hi Pat.   I think the apparent extra lower limb bend is seen because of the tilt in the pic.  Looks good on tiller stand.  I'll fiddle with it and report back.
