Tillering tree...
« on: February 11, 2013, 11:39:08 pm »
I've got a tillering tree in conjunction with my bench vice and it works really good for tillering the early stages(adding a pulley system for weighing and whatnot). But my question is this. Does anyone else ever have this happen? Where you can draw and shoot a bow and it's smooth, no issues. Then, when you put it on the tillering tree, it feels like a lot more strength is going into flexing the bow and you feel like it's going to break. Maybe I'm just paranoid? lol

I use a double pulley system on my tree and it pulls so easy.

How do you set up a double pulley? Without it being crowded that is.

I have a pulley mounted on a 1/2 inch shaft on the floor, the trees  pull rope extends from my hand down under the pulley on the floor, up to a second pulley with a hook that attaches to the tillering string and back down to an anchor on the wall just above my floor pulley.
