Looking good so far,you done a good job getting over that knot.You also need to be very careful
when stringing one backward like that,if you go to much you will blow out the belly. :) Keep us

Your "gizmo" must be broke ;D That right limb looks stiff about 6" out of the fade. The limb with the knot could stand to bend more too, but with that knot I'd leave it. I'd flip the tips now and finish the tiller, your string is getting close to 90 degs. it sure wouldn't hurt. I wouldn't flip em too much.

I'd embed a little blade in that knot.  Shoot then when they get close, swipe!

heres the tips fliped. i'm not to happy with them though. they seemed to have a list twist in them.  i'm sure its because idid'nt use a caul and just bent them on the kitcken floor till cool and strung them backwards till today.  will it hurt to go back, reboil them and clamp them in a caul or leave them?
