I like the bottom limb a bit stiffer. If you have a bit of twist or some character to the  bow, which you do, you are going to get a different picture from each side. Take it out and shoot it and try to notice if the handle pressure is balanced. This tiller looks great to me. Jawge

If it feels good in the hand then leave it. To me the tiller looks fine.

Dang near impossible to get both limbs bending the same especially when your dealing with dips and snakey wood, remember, this isnt glass:) its good to be a perfectionist but you have to take what the wood gives you, looks good to me.

I think the tiller looks good.  I'd sure shoot it awhile like that and leave it if I liked it.  George

I would get the outer limbs working just a little more Josh.It will only reduce the weight a small bit,but greatly reduce set.If you shoot it in as is ,any set will not happen in the outer limbs,it will be the inner to mid-limb,more so on the bottom limb.JMHO God Bless

 Pete, that was my concern. It seemed like the most bend was where the bend was coming out of the fades.

well this is as close as i can get this one... I narrowed the tips and side tillered the midlimbs out on both and I am alot happier with the tiller now.  Thanks everyone for your advice you guys are great..... I will post it after I shoot it in this weekend and put some copperheads on it. Wish me luck!   :)
