"There are chrysals showing up on the bottom limb"

 Wouldn't hurt to get the bottom limb bending more any how.

Montana elk are hiding from this awesome weapon. We'll look at it again next weekend for Oct BOM fun.

Great bow! Looks like a well-made killer. And it carries the medicine form your brother.  ;)   I bet you will love it for hunting.

Does it have a bit of positive tiller? You may have intended it that way. Myself, I like a slight bit of negative tiller for some reason.
Regardless, A+ weapon.

Thanks eveyrone :)! This bow has made me such a huge fan of snakeskins. I keep thinking of other bows to try them on now!

Dano- I've shot bows with even tillers and they never seem to work for me. I think that if the chrysals get worse, I'll just take it down ten pounds or so. I'm keeping my eye on it.

Well, I've been shooting this bow for a few days now, and it felt rather stiff for 80#. So after a short session I took it and rechecked the weight...

Turns out this monster is 87#! Guess that's why I'm having trouble hitting that proverbial barnside ::)

I wasn't talking about even tiller. The bow appears to have about 1/2" or more positive tiller.

That's a nice bow Kegan! Like the skins. If you think it's so ugly send it to TX - It's nice and dry out here too ::).

Thanks all.

Dano- you mean positive on the top? The top limb is 1" longer, and slightly more limber. Do you think it's too much?
