Hi guys...
So I started a tri-lam reflexed longbow this week, floor tillering and long string tillering
went well. Then I wanted to string it on low brace and ... KABOOM!!!!..... that thing exploded on the tiller.

I `m not sure what went wrong, did I try to brace it too early or was it a grain run-off on the back (I thought white oak is tough enough to handle one run-off...).
Can you tell from the picture? (BTW, the bow it white oak backed ipe with walnut core)

I think I`ll stick with straight pyramids for now.... too many reflexed bows broke on the tiller lately and I don`t think the
faw extra FPS is worth the it.....
