LOL I used to take my full draw pictures on a tillering stick... I would brace it, draw it to 28" and hook it in the peg, then stand back, fumble with the camera for a few seconds, then take 2 or 3 pictures of the bow.  It would be drawn for at least a minute at a time and I always wondered why I had so much string follow, LOL.  ???  :D

It isn't string follow that really concerns us Josh. While tillering a bow you are pulling it to uncharted territory, it could blow at any point of the process. Our big concern is that you will be holding it in your hand when it explodes and it will smack you in the head. Damaging a bow isn't good, but we can build another. As far as I know they haven't figured out how to get you a new head.  ;)

I know all the dangers of using a tillering stick trust me...  :D I had the long string come loose from a shallow carved nock of a bow i had on the stick while I was pulling it once.  It jumped out of the slot at the top of my stick and came down and smacked me in the mouth hard enough to make my mouth bleed and lip to swell up.  I was lucky not to lose a tooth!  That was the last time I used that thing...  :)  -josh
