good point about the over bend to brace,,, that is when the bow is under alot of stress ,, so no need to over do it,, I will have to try a fast flight string for tiller and bracing,, I never realized it was that much different, I am still in the stone ages about some stuff,,,great advice from above,,,, and good luck on your bow,,,, I think you will get it done,  :)

Listen to Will and do as he says.  High reflex will give you a lot of string tension which makes the bow's limbs want to bend sideways unless you go right to full brace
