Maybe see what she looks like in hand with an arrow nocked?
How does it feel when you pull on it?

OK I couldn't stand it. I lightened up the left(bottom) limb and got this. It's just over 40# at 27". I think I'm happy.

Interesting that one the tree the upper limb rocks forward and yet on your  hand drawn pic the opposite is true. I think your  two draws are a fair bit off and you need to figure out how to make the two more similar.

If you notice the side of the trailer,it's leaning toward me. I had to rotate the picture a bit to get the arrow level. I think I had the arrow nocked a little low. The camera was ticking, I didn't have much time. I've tried to think that through and that would mean I was pulling on the bottom limb more. My head is starting to hurt.

Do you mean I have to get my tree draw to be closer to my hand draw? Do you have any suggestions?

I never mess with tillering trees much, I rough to bow dimensions and bend it over my knee to feel which limb is stronger, and see what areas are already stiff or weak, then I put on a long string and head to the mirror and flex the limbs to see where the stiff or weak spots are. I then progress from there with the rest of the tillering process. I like this method as I know how the bow will feel in my hand very early on and can make adjustments for comfort or twist that I wouldn't see otherwise. (also i'm to lazy to make a tree).

The handle is not level. Did you pull the string at the exact same place? If you did the the left side is stiff. Take some off that side. Arvin
I dint see page two. Looks like you got it worked out. Good tiller. You and I share the big belly. Good form by the way. Arvin
