Tiller check! Full draw update! Thoughts?
« on: September 27, 2012, 08:02:49 pm »
Would like some input on this tiller please. I am thinking more bend mid-limb. Low brace of 3". Please help me out! Thanks!

Yeah, I think I would stay away from the fades, inner 3rd area for a bit and concentrated on getting the middle 1/3 of each limb to bend a bit more.  What is the length of the bow, poundage desired and draw length?  What is the profile of the bow, pyramind, paralell limbs, moly...

What everybody else said and the left limb looks a little stiffer to my eye.

Here she is at full draw? Thoughts?  Only about 7/8" of set at 26".

Thanks.

Looks like you're really close. The lower limb looks just a tad stiffer which is OK. Are you using Eric Krewson's tillering gizmo? I might help you with a couple of final tweaks.

Hey Lesken,

I have a gizmo and have been using it on the past few bows I've made, works nice. Lower limb is slightly stiffer on purpose, as I like the feel of it better. I've just had terrible luck with red oak, And I want this tiller as nice as I can get it. Thanks.

Shot 75 arrows through her and haven't seen any problems. Shoots faster than any other oak bow I have made. I will sand her down tomorrow and shoot her another 200 times to make sure no problems arise before i finish her off. trying to keep this bow real simple.

Any one else have comments on the tiller?

Thanks.
