I think, no!

First shoot her! Then you can decide if you have to correct the tiller  ;)

I just realized you had reflexed tips. That gives the appearance of stiff tips when they are actually bending.   Pat

wow! Looks great! That handle is a great idea even if it's a borrowed design. Paint job looks great to. I think you will be just fine with that tiller.

Nice overall looking bow Dustybear. Handle is inspiring. Paint job is great. Tiller?  ???  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.  ;D  Listen to me with only 8 bows under his belt.   :-[

Very nice bow, how did you put the reflex in the limbs?  I've never had much luck heat-bending hickory.

Sometimes when you do a full draw pic, if you are canting the bow even slightly it'll make the top limb look a little stiffer.  That or even a different grip can change the look of the tiller a bit.  Its pretty darned close if you ask me, should hold up fine at that length and poundage.
