OK, tiller is slightly different for up-right and canted shooters. Less heel pressure is applied when canting the bow and some pressure is relieved on the lower limb. From what I see, tiller looks perfect for when you cant the bow. For up-right shooting, just take a little heel pressure off the handle...........Art

Thank again, All.  Thanks Gordon.

Art, I grab the handle by the side, much as Asbel taught for the longbow.  I know he has since modified that view but I like it because without any break in the wrist I feel it helps me keep my forearm away from the string.   As I'm drawing my bow I'm actually wobbling my bow hand up and down so that equal pressure is on the heel and thumb.  I feel there is equal stress on the handle that way.  So I do that when canting too.  And with a bendy handle where there's not much handle at all.  I don't break my wrist.  When there's no handle at all I still grab it from the side and pull into my thumb! 

BH.....The four draw pics are two up and two down.  But I think I see what needs improvement.  I'll finish it up this weekend.  Thanks for all your help.

I say the outer half are just a touch stiff. More so the bottom of the 4th pic
