I think it looks GREAT!  :o Man you've come a long way in such a short time... Congrats on getting a bow you feel comfortable hunting with.  Good luck with it this fall.  Bookmarked for Aug.  Self Bow of the Month contest too.   :)

Now that, young man, is what tillering should be.  When you feel like you aren't getting anywhere, go back and look at the pics of the first two bows as a reminder. 

Shoot that thing at every opportunity between now and deer season, every size target at ever range and from every single position you can imagine.  Nothing like building up your arms and confidence at the same time. 

Now I got a serious question for you.  What are you gonna call yourself here next year?

Dude.. just noticed you were shooting left handed too.  Awesome to see another southpaw on here.  There aren't many of us. :)
