The limbs are the same length.  I don't mess with that assymetrical limb stuff.

Well I strung it up the other day to take another look at it and at brace is was all out of whack.  Didn't appear that bad the night I posted pics.  So now the bow is on it's way to be a 35#er...maybe if I heat treat again can keep her at 40#....

Once I get through this weekend I will get back to it and I will do a tiller along on here and have you guys help me out.  That single FD pic wasn't enough to tell the whole story unfortunately.

Did you see my thread about sudden tiller change in my Ash Meare heath style bow which messed it up? It's gone from being a beautiful 40# BOM candidate to a 30# sad bow lookin' for someone to love it :'(
