Hook your scale on from the back  side of the string.

It is, the rope twists tighter when tension is applied, but my pulley is too big for the paracord I have.

Looks like the right side is working more than the left side in general.

On the left limb, I cant tell where it needs to be bending more. I think the fade and the last few inches?

It looks to me as if your bow isn't setting level with the lines behind it. That will account for a little bit of the difference in perceived bend. But the left limb still needs to bend more.

The left limb is good. The right limb is soft the last 1/3. That doesnt mean the tiller is even, but it is good on the left.

I still have 10" to go, so just full scrapes nice and easy on the left, how do I battle the weak tip on the right?

This is what I would do. I would lightly hit the fades on the right side until it was bending evenly then full scrapes on the left until they balance out IN YOUR HAND.

Saw coaster500's thread about paint though I would try it and post it this how your suppose to use the paint program? Seems like it lines up with what y'all are saying left limb is more stiff?

i agree with PD, also you should have a smoother transition in the fades, they are to sharp of an angle, Bub

The best part of all this is you have at least 15#'s to go! That it lots and lots of room to tweak her right up!

Take a scraper to that left limb about 10 from the handle, around there.
