Where to lose 2 or 3#

Pat B:
Have you shot the bow? If not put 100 arrows through it and recheck the weight. You could also scrape the sides a little to reduce weight.

bjrogg:
That’s a pretty bend. Whatever it takes to keep that bend.

Round the corners a tad, sand it a little, talk harshly to it  ::) >:D

Burnsie:
Looks like your hand has healed up nicely - that is a nice bend.

Lots of great thoughts. I think I’ve considered them all. I just get nervous when it gets down to the final nitty gritty. I have exercised it a lot on the tillering tree, but have limited short draw shots through it due to still have some soreness in my middle finger from my surgery. It’s sanded down close enough that I could finish it now, but can still sand more to remove some weight.

I originally put a tiny bit of reflex in the outer 1/3rds and flipped the tips so they were about 2” past the handle. It has lost about 1-1/4” of that.

The 20 or so shots I have through it at about 26” feels dead in the hand, and so far my bows in the past have not changed tiller or weight when worked this way.

I’m leaning towards working Arvins and Simks advice together so as not to risk any more set in the outer. Sometimes I just start second guessing myself and need some fresh eyes.
