Well, I pull from the center but final tiller is done in the hand either by feel, in front of a morror, window at night  or digicam.
Sorry, I can't tell from the pic.
If the left limb is stiff the bow will rock to the left and the string will slide that way...to the left.

That's a really good vid.  It's always nice to see slightly longer ones Del, they're great to see. 

I reckon a little YouTube video series would go down really well...   You could even tag it with "Derek Hutchison - BBC Bowyer and Archer!"

Yaeh, I'm thinking I might vid the tillering of the 90# Yew ELB I'm working on... specially as I have a nice new tripod.
