Title: Take down ,tiller check.
Post by: Pappy on July 30, 2009, 05:51:07 am

See what yall think,I have to 54@26 and could give a little weight if I needed to but it shoot great so I may leave it.This is out of 2 limbs I had laying around that have broke over the last year or so so I put a sleeve on them and now brought some new life to the good limbs. :)

It does look a bit string but it's all according to how it feels when drawn. Excellent work, Pappy.  Jawge

Thanks guys,It is about a 1/4 stiff on the bottom but shoots really nice and feels smooth.I may just shoot it a bunch this weekend and see how it looks then .Only had about 25 shots out of it so far.

A takedown sleeve might extend the lenght of the handle and consequently the lower limb.  So a little extra tiller, and nock point height would be necessary at least from the geometry pov.  Aside from that asymetry, inherent in virtually every bow, it looks dandy to me.  Folks seem to really favor a little less round tiller, and I agree if the wood can handle it.  I base 90% of the tiller shape on how it shoots and where or whether it takes set from more extensive shooting.  How it looks is more or less just a starting point.

Very nice, Pappy! I'd have to agree, I think the bottom limb is a bit stiff at midlimb.

Great looking bow Pappy.  What a great way to salvage a couple of "lost" bows.
