She looks good but if you need more draw  length you'll have to get the near andle wood moving more. She's a it on the short side for more than 24" for a rigid handle bow. Jawge

Nice bow! Quite the bend too! It does look like one limb bends a bit more in the inner third, not much tough.
Cheers!

Not to much set I don't think, but hard to tell, one limb is slightly reflexed and one is slightly deflexed a little heat treating should cure that, we will see. Thanks for the input, going to do a bit more scraping and put some arrows through it.

Looks pretty good,I would say a little more out of the fads and outer 1/3 if you have weight and drawlength to give. Lots of bend for a shot bow. What draw length are you looking for ?

Thanks Pappy can't say to much about draw length, don't want to give any hints to who it's for. It is close, got some wiggle room yet.

I agree with Pappy about the outer thirds and fades. You'll need to use all the limb you can at that length with a stiff handle. It does look nice though and you are very close in my opinion :) Carefull with the fades as you'll loose weight fast if you scrape much there.
