I see the problem
It's those fluffy string silencers... the right one needs moving about a half inch to the right.
You'll find she's fine once you make the adjustment.

 Another thing I'm having trouble with is Z splices. They never seem to line up straight. Should I heat this slat and straighten it? I thought making stick bows was supposed to be easy?  :) >:D
