just the bottom one

That was the answer I was expecting with the hinge. Still all in all it shoots so score it in the win column!  8)

Welcome to the wood bow addicts site.

Nice to have you ;D I love this site because I learn lots of new things everyday. Nice for a first bow if it shoots an arrow you did it! Tiller will improve as you get more bows under your belt. ;)
my friends think my shops a mess, my wife thinks I have too much bow wood, my neighbors think im redneck white trash and they may all be right on the money!!

Good to have you onBOARD with us.
Get ready to have your life consumed by wood. You will start looking at trees differently ;).

Oh, and by the way....It's better than my 1st 4 attempts!!

Welcome to the board.  Nice first bow.  My first bow did not make it to pictures. lol. 

You already noticed the hinged limbs.  Thats alright.  Thats what first bows are for.  I would suggest your next project be a tiller tree and a tiller block.  Both will help alot when it comes to tillering.

All in all, great first go, especially without a tiller stick or tree.
