I took it to 19" today and it was #40. I'm going to leave it there and not try for 20 unless anyone has any final thoughts about the tiller and I have to change it. 40 is my target weight (doesn't hurt my shoulder and should be good for small game at least) and I hope to put some finish on and make a string soon. Any final tips are appreciated.
Thanks,
Dustin

Tiller has improved from before. The top limb looks like it could have bent a bit more closer towards the handle. However, I'd probably leave it as is if it is at your weight and draw and you like the way it shoots.

Thanks dictionary now that you say that I can see it but if it's ok I'll leave it alone. Thanks for all the advice everyone, I have a lot more information for the next time around!
