outer on the right limb and mid to outer on the left limb are stiff. dont touch the inner limbs anymore untill you get those stiff spots moving more.

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

Don't worry . I am in the same boat . At least a couple times and both times in the end they were great bows when the tiller came around.

So I think I got it worked out. The left (bottom) limb may need a little off the last 1/3rd. What y'all think?

Bruce if left is lower then you need to shift that handle over. Either center it, or slighty ABOVE center. That's where your hand will be. By sliding it 2" to the right, it changes the tiller. The right limb is too heavy BTW. Tiller looks good, but too heavy.

I have it so the string is pulling straight on the tree, I thought that's what I'd want. I lines it up about where my handle ends. Am I wrong?

I think he is saying that the block needs to be positioned where your hand would be, which should be nearer the upper limb.  Is your picture upside down?

where your arrow pass is going to be is what should be in the center of the tree. it better similates drawing the bow by hand. when you draw a bow by hand you dont pull the string from dead center, rather 1-1 1/2" above center.

Unless he has gravity defying electric cords, then yes, this picture is positioned upside down.   :o

That's hot I have it Jordan, the spot where my arrow will go is lined up with my pulling rope.

Also the handle isn't quite flat so it seems like one limb is further than the other
