Title: Cherokee War Bow tiller check
Post by: Stick Bender on May 16, 2016, 03:36:55 pm

Hi Fellas just finishing up my first Osage D bow figured I would throw it out for a tiller check it's 67 1/2  in
59lbs @29 in.  The bottom limb has a natural deflex in it , It has taken about 1/4 in set

The tips may be a wee little tiny bit stiff for the perfect circular tiller.  But she looks like a killer!

  I'm liking the bend on that one bud...I'm a sucker for a slightly stiff tip myself... ;)

Like JW said, a bit stiff at the tips, at least the upper, but other than that I think it looks real good.  8)

Well I got this bow sanded & tips narrowed left the tips stiff, shot it in and it ended up at 54 lbs it was shooting across the  chrony at 159-160 with a 500 grain arrow but the bow was a bit shocky so I didn't want to narrow the tips more so I rounded them out as suggested & eliminated most of the vibration but lost about 4 fps it's now shooting 155 fps with B50 but it's a fun accurate bow I'm going to make a FF string for it I'm guessing it will end up in the 160s will post it when I get it dressed up

  Looks like a good tiller to me. Not a bad bow either.
