I don't think that bow looks very stressed and I like the bend Russell. I don't remember how much correction I had to do on that one when I put it on my straightening caul. I have a hard time getting HHB  to keep everything after straightening. I have much better luck with Osage in that area. You might be losing some of the heat correction I originally gave it. Hard to say. At any rate I don't think I'd lose any sleep over it.

whew! thats good! now to finish the arrow Trade! i found out how i like to shoot. i thought i was a one over, two under but i dont do so good with that, so i moved the arrow closer to my eye by doing 3 under and lowered the nocking point. changed my life.

Cool bow!
I started with 3 under but feel way better now split fingered. Sometimes the bow shoots better 3 under. Just try out a lot and when you've found out what works out best try to copy every shot.
Cheers

Tiller looks good. Wind an elastic over the loop on the bottom nock so the string  doesn't come off. Jawge

I meant to tell you that to Russell. You can keep your string from falling off when it's unbraced by wrapping  a rubber band around the tip of the limb that your string always stays on. It won't interfere with how the bow works at all and it won't fall off the tip. Just always string bow from the other tip. I actually use those castration rubber bands. They work really well. I've even used O rings before.

Just put a rubber band around it. Just like you would put one around a news paper. Wait...that is a reference that may not apply to today’s youth. Ever wrapped your sisters pony tail?  Same thing.

Heres a couple pictures Russell. It's very simple, just hard to explain. Then you just always stringing bow from other limb.
