Looks great to me. Looks like you left it slightly stiff in the top limb where the bluge (knot?) is, but I'm sure that was intended.
-
Looks god to me,
Maybe a little stiff in the top limb but i am guessing a bit knot there.

Lkttle stiff just under the knot.....dont know if it needs any messing with ???
-
I think the bottom fade area is stiff, top looks sweeter n' candy.
-
+1 pearl.
-
+2 on lower fade area.
-
The bottom limb is very stiff out of the fade for the first half, then the limb does all its bending in the middle, and then the tip is stiff. I call that a hinge. If that bow was mine, I'd get it bending in the bottom first half of the limb. For whatever reason, the first full draw pic looks worse.
The top limb looks good. You did great with the big knot mid-limb.
-
I agree that the bottom limb is doing too much work in the middle and not enough in the fade.
-
I agree with Weylin, though I would have to see the unbraced bow to be sure.
-
A little bit stiff near the handle area..specialy in the bottom limb,,,u could do some scraping there, and take another photo...:)
-
lower fade... just a tad!
this is one of the FASTEST ocean spray bows ive ever had the pleasure to shoot.
VERY nice bow. one of my favorites of yours carson.
-
Thanks Bryce, it did shoot nice, but the string alignment correction came out and now that string lies out in space off the handle again. I was not happy with the tiller, but it shot great and so I didnt want to mess with it. Now that I am back fixing the string alignment, I figure I might as well correct the tiller on this puppy. I should have added an unbraced pic, but what you guys are saying is what I was seeing.... stiff lower fade.

i think the top limb is just a bit stiff. SS

The top limb is stiff???? I think you need to clean your glasses and have another look. The top lomb bends nice and even throughout its length. I only see a small problem with the bottom limb.
-
My glasses are clean....... ;D +1 on the bottom.
-
Few. Scrapes on left or lower limb bro Brock
-
wow, that's ocean spray? how long is it? did you do a thread on it, another topic, that is? and are you going to the glass buttes knap-in anyone?
-
Aaron, it is ocean spray. I think it is about 65" nock to nock. Started with two inches of reflex and retained 1". I was going to post it up after I get her all finished up. And yes, I am planning on going to Glass buttes. maybe 3 days. Not sure which days though.
