Post by: DC on September 05, 2018, 12:58:25 pm

Can you see any difference between the tiller in these two pictures?

I think the Top picture looks a little flat on the top mid limb. Cheers- Brendan

Bottom looks better to me.more of a positive tiller.

That's kind of what I thought too Brendan. I just turned the bow upside down for the second picture. No other changes. So why doesn't the bottom picture look flat in the bottom mid limb? Must be something to do with the way I'm holding the bow. Or the fact that I tillered the bow the way I hold it. I think there's a little more reflex in the upper limb. It's to the right.

Still think that after looking at the unbraced picture? I think the bottom picture looks better too :) but is it actually? This is the first bow I've tillered off centre and I'm puzzled by what I see, I think :D

Seen it before,deflex limbs seem stronger than reflex ones.l made a good example of that a few years ago.
