Tough to see full tiller with the complicated background.

Tiller looks good.
Looks like the curve on the end of the right limb is bending more than the one on the left limb.
May just be the way the photo looks.

That looks pretty good, I agree the left limb looks a tad stiffer, but not too bad and if that's the lower limb then that's ok.
I'd probably quit f'now. Shoot it a bit and maybe heat treat it later if you want to tweak it once it's shot in.

if it's shooting good, heat it and shoot it, if ya keep trying to make her perfect ya might end up with a kids bow, call it good and shoot it while ya build another
