Tillering advice: This thing is kinkier than...
Pat B:
Yeah, it's like trimming sideburns, you just have to know when to stop. :OK
Looking forward to seeing your elk on the ground next fall.
bjrogg:
I think it looks great WB.
How long has the sinew been drying? Maybe it will gain a little yet?
Is it to late to recurve the tips a little?

WhistlingBadger:
Sinew's been drying for about a month and a half, so I doubt it'll get much stronger.

Belly and back pictures:
Put about 20 arrows through this freak of nature tonight. It looks funny but nothing wrong with the way it shoots! It seems to like heavier arrows. I plan to put a few of different weights through the chrono this weekend if the weather stays decent. Once I find the sweet spot on weight, I'll try to build some that are tuned right and start shooting this thing in earnest. I figure about 200 arrows will give me an idea of whether it's worth doing the finish work and putting a snakeskin on it.
WhistlingBadger:
Did a little shooting through the Chrono today. This bow is spitting 600 grain arrows (all I have at the moment) at 125-130 fps. For a bow that's only pulling 45#, that seems pretty fast to me. I'll have to get some 450-500 gr arrows built and see how they do.
Overall? I'm really pleased with this bow!
