According to pearls drawing, it might use a few off about the same spot on the left limb as well. JMO Patrick

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

It's hard not to get frustrated but I'll never give up. I dont get alot of time to work on them so its takin me longer to learn.  I think its close I've takin some off both sides. Its looking pretty good. I may have it today I hope. Im a perfectionist so I think that why I have broken so many.  Thanks to all of you for being so patient.  I want to post a finished bow that lives up to y'alls standards.

Yes I've been where you are,part of the curve I guess.my best advice is to study the brace, flip it 180 and repeat.you could start by placing the back against a flat surface (like a door frame or a hand rail on a deck) and measure tip height(remember to rotate the bow 180 to cut down on the varitables)and remeasure. You will be surprised at the difference even though it looks close by eye!alas IMHO. Is to bend it on the floor and flat. Spots and hinges will jump out at you with a bit of practice. Looks like it's gonna be a nice one!yes I agree the left is still a squeak flat mid.
