Limb/string alignment help please

[George Tsoukalas]

Mike, good point about leaving the handle full width until full draw or at least the first stringing.

I also leave the nocks a good inch wide and cut the offending  side deeper to bring the string towards center. The can be shaped later.

Thanks George.....that was something else I was wondering about. 

Here's a couple of pics on the tillering rig.  At present this bow is 3/16" positive and at my target weight.  Not sure what I should do about what is now the stiff outer part of the upper limb, but I don't want it to develop a hinge just off the riser.  Suggestions?

You've got a nasty hinge forming right out of the fade on the right limb. Leave that area alone and tiller the middle to outer limb before proceeding any further.  You need to make your fades a gentler transition also.

Up until yesterday, they were a very gentle transition.  I got carried away at the longer draws when they were too stiff for about 5' off the riser......lesson learned for sure.   I'm gonna lose my draw weight, but that's okay....will get the outer limb bending correctly and enjoy it for what it is.

U can still hear treat the belly and get some weight back. Keep on trucking

[Green]

What would the heat treating recommendations be for this.  Remember, I've not done this before.  I've got a heat gun and cookin' oil, so I'm all ears and eagerness!

  Although I trive to GET THE TIPS CENTERED TO THE HANDLE. As long as the strings on the handle and to the shelf side I've left personal bows alone. JUST MAKES YOUR BOW A LITTLE MORE CENTER SHOT.

  If you leave the string to far off the handle it'll slap your wrist. (EVERYTIME) But a 1/8 th inch off center won't have any affect on the shootable of the bow.
