ok. to me it looks like the bottom limb is a bit stiff, here is a pic illustrating what I'm kind of talking about. your picture has your bow askew so i cant tell for sure, but i looks like to bottom limb is stiff where its not quite bending with the circle, the other limb is a bit better in my opinion. hopefully other bowyers will pitch in too.

Looks like you are learning the ropes here.  keep at it.  BTW, I like that string nock design.  Where did you come up with that?

I came up with that on my own, I had heard about the string coming off the end to much from my dad. So i did that.
