Final tiller check - trade bow - hbi
« on: May 13, 2012, 01:15:30 pm »
OK guys, I think I'm there. I broke my pulley so I'm not sure of the exact weight, yet, but feels about right (can't reveal the specifics). I built a new free-standing tiller tree, yesterday, but have to finish it up today after church. Then I will know for sure. I shot a few arrows out of it yesterday, between rain storms, and it puts em right where I point. Probably a mistake since the hickory probably drew in some moisture, but I haven't had much time to work on it, lately, due to my work schedule. It took about an inch of set right after being unstrung and settles to about a 1/2 inch after a while. If it looks OK to yall, I will do the finish work on it and there is a trad shoot next weekend I may shoot it in at. Need some expert eyes out there. What do yall think?








The bottom limb is just a tad stiffer than the top. I thought I would leave it that way. What do yall think?

Thanks, Yall, for the feedback. When I get the finish on it and shoot it in, I'll post some pics.
