I agree with dale and makenzie lookin much better.  being hikcory you could leave her as is but if you want to try to perfect it that left limb is doing a bit more work and the inner 1/3 still looks a bit stiff.  if you want get that inner 1/3 on the left flexing a smidge more and then balance them out with even strokes of wood removal.  on your next I would go with a shorter grip area like dale said.

You made a bow and got it to full draw, Victor. That is an accomplishment. You should  see pictures of bows that are tillered well at full draw...any bow...fiberglass included or actual bows being drawn so you can watch them bend and flex. I shoot to go to shoots and step off to the side and watch. No internet then. You can go to the section in this site where the contests are and look at the bows. I think that will help you. Jawge

I brought the fades in closer to the handle.

I think it looks good.

 And I am sure I've seen bows tillered like this, but I could be wrong.

Thanks for all the help.  :)

I lost about 10 pounds and it is now a 45# bow.

Would that still be heavy enough for deer if I used a heavy arrow? :-\

oh yea as long as you are getting good arrow speed but with a sharp narrow 2 blade broad head and a heavy arrow you should be in good shape.

next time go with a 4" grip and 2" fades and you'll get more wood working, looking lot's better tho, Bub
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.
