Is this a suitable way to attach siyah? FINISHED!

So, need to double check the draw weights can’t remember it’s it’s 34 or 32lbs at 32” so this is 33lbs- Edit; it’s 34lbs at 32” so below forges are slightly off
Turns out I was short drawing by 1” yesterday. Re chronograph today in better light conditions.
420 gr (12.7gpp) 151fps
320 gr (9.7gpp) 168fps
228 gr (6.9gpp) 190fps
I think if I made the limbs 1/4” wider on the inners and an inch shorter in the outer it would gain a good bit. As you say Dave Ive definitely got a bit too much on the heel of the siyahs but I think it looks kinda cool and I keep over thinning my tips so I’ll leave this one as is.
7gpp the hand shock is noticeable but totally manageable,the arrows is obviously too light but I could shoot them happily without worry about discomfort or damaging the bow.
It’s more that there is a lot of vibration and resonance through the bow than it hurting my joints.
The unbraced photos were taking 5 mins after shooting, it’s got a bit of set/ string follow on the upper inner.
