So far so good. If you have a long string get'er tillered more and put a short string on it and get 'er so it's safely pulling to around 24" without over pulling beyond your draw weight and without any hinging. I imagine you are wanting 50#...? ::)

I'd say the inner limbs are work ing fine, leave 'em be and start to get the mid/outer moving.
