So i evened everything the best I could and tried to get the handle working and a bit more of the tips. Then minor adjusts to what feels good in the hand. I traced the bend of the limbs and flipped it and traced again. The lines over lapped. With the setback in the handles, I had some issues gettin it sit in the tree even, but got it to work out pretty well I think. I got it to 43lbs at 21". The photo is at 18".
I appreciate all suggestions, although now I will have to apply it to the next one.

Looks good to me too. Have you shot it yet?

Thanks guys, and I appreciate all the help. Yes, I've shot it.... I'll just say making it was a whole lot more fun. I like short bows, but this short of a bow is a whole new world for me to shoot. I will have to mess around a bunch with arrows for this little thing.
