As per the string angle, your question can be answered by a couple of pics.  One at 28" with high brace, one at 28" with low brace, and you'll see the string angle will be pretty much identical (yes, between string and limb).  You can kind of think of a high brace as the bow being "predrawn" for some of the draw length.  The only change in string angle is as measured at brace.

I'm gonna have to test this out. I'm sure you guys have the right of it, but its just not making practical sense in my mind, and it won't until I actually see it for myself.

More Pics after I got the new string from Bevan! Ive adjusted the tiller and added a little spike from the tip of a springbok horn for an arrow rest.  I still plan on adding a beaver tail wrap for a handle and I would like to put some snake skins on for backing (I just think they look cool).  What do you think?











String from Bevan!

Great job! When I first saw the end view photo I almost felt sick for you. It looked to me like you were holding a broken limb tip! LOL

Inner 1/3 of bottom limb looks a little stiff to me. But great work, especially for your first bow.
