Bows / Re: Floor tillering
« Last post by High-Desert on Today at 04:49:01 pm »I floor tiller all the way to full brace. both limbs are worked at the same time. I use calipers a lot to compare thickness between limbs at certain points. This isn't surefire, but it sure has sped up the beginning tiller process. Final tiller I'm still overly causous about tho.

P.S. I like the "bag of rocks method." You know for sure that you're never going over your intended weight. Might just have to try that myself. I've got plenty of rocks!
