Tillering through Entire Draw

<< < (2/2)

willie:
if the stave has dips and bends or (rollercoaster) it tales a very good eye to see good tiller (all areas bending the same amount ) at full draw.

If you take a stave that has dips and crooks and tiller it such that it looks like the perfect bend you would expect to see with a straight stave, then some places are bending (and taking set) more than others. 

Del the cat:
I try to get the tiller reasonably even as early as possible, then ease the draw length back incrementally while keeping at full draw weight.
Some times the limbs sort of come back one then the other, but only with minor differences.
There always seem to be a point where it suddenly looks like a bow!
It's all down to getting your eye in and seeing weaker/stiffer points before they are a problem.
