Hi Don,

A little whiptillered - the limbs could bend more towards the fadeouts. That would also reduce the set.
But nevertheless - a shooting bow.

Bending a bitt too much at mid limb on the bottom, it could use more bending in the fades, the top is stiff and the bottom is weak.

If it shoots OK, shoot it and enjoy it.

my first bow was a whip tilled osage... bow is deadly accurate and dead silent.. sweet shooter but it could of performed better had I tilled it with stiffer tips..any bow that shoots well is a well shooting bow..LOL...listen to advice here ...get the fades bending a lil more and stiffen the tips .. I'd say flip the tips on this one some but I'm sure they would just pull out here... congrats on a shooter Don.. gut

Good job. Fades can bend a little more. I prefer stiff tips. I would consider adding tip overlays.
