Randman - Set after checking the draw weight and shooting a few arrows was just over an inch after I unstrung it. Thats from the center belly to where the bends at the tips touch the ground, so it might be a bit higher if the tips weren't slightly recurved. I'm sure it'll be a bit higher after I shoot the hell out of it too! I took your advice about taking the bend out of the bottom and that definitely helped even up the tiller. Still bending too much in the middle, but not as bad as before and its pulling #44 at 26, so I'm pretty happy with this one. I've got a hazelnut stave ready to rough out so I'll have some more practice when I get back from Ecuador! Thanks to all of you for the advice, this is definitely something I'd like to get better at.
