Hand shock question? pictures added!

  Your tiller shape looks nice and even. I find bows tillered using a nice even bend over the limb have a lot of handshock, they tend to be more durable though. A couple of years ago I was giving away a bunch of bows so i gave them all that nice even tiller. They all had some handshock. Only remedy I found was to go back to my old stiff outer limbs, a little stiff out of the fades and elyptical in the bending area. I shoot feather light arrows down to 150 grains and have no handshock. Not critizing at all it just seems to be how it works for me.

Thanks badger, these are some of my first few bows. I haven't attempted an elliptical tiller yet or even shot one. I plan on it with the next one I tiller though.  I will compare them when its done. Do you think the tips are thin enough on my vine maple bow?  Thanks, Patrick
