Ok, Im kind of wondering what happened to my reflex? and I think I created a slight hint of a hinge.  I am still quite heavy in that it takes all I can muster to get it to about 24" (I guess it to be about 75# right now).Im hopeing that I can work down the mid limb to give the tips back some stiffness and some reflex. Or is it to late? I really dont care if I undershoot my 50# goal if I have to work the limbs down. If I can stay above 40# and it dont break,I'm happy.  I also built up an overlay to the back of the bow handle section to add some strength and give it a little more comfort.



This is the reflex that is left right now after unstringing.
Thanks to every one for the help,
Kenro
