it kinda depends on whether or not it will be a typical short draw west coast style bow or a modified 28" draw version...if it's the latter... google John Riggs.   :OK

Gonna start tillering it after I get it knocked down and get a small amount of flex I plan on tillering it and getting the tips to start bending a little more than the rest and working my way in toward the handle a small amount at a time. Is this a good strategy? It worked well for me on my last D bow, or is there a faster way/better way
