So I borrowed a string from another bow for low brace. It's about 4" in the pic. Drawn to about 45# @ 19". Shooting for 65#. Figure aim high and it'll settle a little lower.

Stiff in the middle and fades. Don't yank it anymore than you have and lower the brace so the string is just above the handle. Your taking set near the tips and that aint no good bruiser.

Slow your roll man. Your not gaining a thing by skipping steps, well actually you are. Your gaining undue set;)

I know I know. I'm trying. I think I got the left looking good. Need to get the right fade bending more. Anything else?

Closer. Make those limbs move right up to each fade. Your going to need every stitch of bend you can get.

So I got it tillered out. Came in way light for what I was aiming for. 43#. If I yank it to my 30" draw it'll be closer. I was planning on adjusting my draw to 28" but I guess it wasn't meant to be. I'm happy with it. Gotta lighten the tips and put some horn on. Shape the handle and shoot the hell outta it. It takes about 2" of set and returns to flat. The tips return to slight reflex. Well it is what it is. Let me know how the tiller is and how disappointed u are by my weight  :'( lol thanks guys.

Tiller looks good to me.  Don't be too bummed about the weight man.  It'll be great for targets and game alike.  Lower weight means less strain to the archer.  Which CAN go a long way in accuracy.   :)

Tiller looks good at this distance. How did you go about losing all your weight? Myself, Ive made the mistake of assuming the sinew would add more weight than it did and I ended up too light, lesson learned there. Ive also just plain over tillered bows, more than once.
