I don't see a thing wrong with that bow, either. Now go out and make some meat and enter it in BOM, too.

That's a fine bow Ryan, great tiller. I love that style of bow for a solid utility bow that does it all. Roam 3d course or hunt like a champ.

Tiller really does look good. Make sure your next stave is dry and you'll get less string follow i suspect. Just a hunch.  Beautiful bow.

  RyanR,
            Really nice bow and very, very acceptable amount of follow. Don't blame your tillering for that because there are so many variables that can affect final profile. I'll give you an A on that one...Nice job

Im with everyone else on this one. Fine job. Nothing wrong with the tiller at all. May be induce some reflex before you tiller and it will end up flat when your done. Just a thought.   Danny

You have a nice smooth bend but the problem here is that your limbs are not working enough just out of the fades.  Still a very nice bow

What Marc said.  Get those fades moving earlier and your bow limbs will take less set. 

Very nice bow.  Sounds like you are hooked!  >:D I imagine there are lots of very fine bows in your future.   :)
