I alway seem to end up being the meanie on bow critiques.

You have one major hing in your bottom limb and nothing bending from the hinge to the fade out area. A little bit of the same on the top limb but not near as severe as the bottom.

Hate to be so blunt but I can't keep from telling the truth(one of my short comings in life).

Do you use a tillering gizmo?

Eric...how do you know without seeing an unbraced side profile. You should know this. He might of left it ala natural with the kinks,and kinks always usually show up where snaky bows curve,and his kinks line up to where his snakyness is in the front proile. I usually ask for an unbraced side shot if the tiller looks off and when a side shot picture is not shown,and I think the tiller is off before I go shooting my mouth off.

You may be right...but yeti has made enough bows to know if its poorly tillered or not. My bet is he left the kinks in it. ;)

Eric,Blackhawk is right when I was tillering the bow there was a rollercoaster in the handle fade and it makes it look like it is hinging but in fact it is not and on the upper limb there were three that gives that same look.

very cool Swamp, calling it "snakey" is an understatement.
