Thanks so much Badger. I broke a couple of bows with those rollercoaster type dips before trying this one. This time it sort of unlocked in my thick head, finally. I made the thickness the same below and above the dip and then quit fooling with it. Then when I tillered, I looked at the whole bow and how it was bending. Once the limbs were bending evenly, then I figured that's about as good as I could do. There's my simple formula for dealing with whoopty-dos. I know there are some expert character bow guys who are looking at this and if you have any advice or criticism that I can learn from, lay it on me, as I am sure there will be more snakes and dips in my future. Getting this one to hold together and shoot well has been more satisfying to me than any other bow that I have built to date.
