Holy smokes, it's been a heck of a day at work and it's a real treat to come home and see all of these thoughtful comments.  :)

It's a tricky little devil this bow. Unfortunately, I have yet to really go out and put lots of arrows through it. I think Brad makes a really great point about shooting for a while and observing the results, so perhaps I'll do that before taking any drastic action.

Badger and Squirrels, I paid a lot of attention to the arrow being nocked evenly so I'm pretty confident it's not placed high.

Jawge and Squirrels the top limb is on the right in the braced pic.  ;)

Thanks again ya'll for adding your 2 cents.

The way it looks to me Jeff is it took some looking to find the bow you did in there. Good job that one was hiding pretty good.👍

I agree. I think you did a really good job on a challenging piece. I'm interested to hear how she does.

I'm jumping in this a little late but noticed from the full draw and side profile it looks like the lower limb has one more knot then the upper limb which would make it stiffer. Full draw looks good to me. Just my opinion I'd leave it alone.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Well, thanks for the encouragement gents. I must say, as appreciative as I am of all your observations, you guys certainly confused the heck out of me!  (W In a good way though.  ;)

I agree with Mullet on this one.... knot sections will always see to appear stiff... Looks great !!
