RD tiller question

[DC]

Right after glue up I traced the profile on to paper. As I tillered it gained about 3/4" of reflex. Then I screwed up a bit and it took some set in the fades. Now I'm at 40#@26". If you look at the picture what I think I'm seeing is it's still holding about 1/2" of "gained reflex" mid limb but the set in the fades has dropped the tips back to where they were right after glue up. Well within 1/4". I want to tiller it out to 40#@28".  I've never had the gained reflex last this long so I'm thinking it's over built mid limb. Should I side tiller mid limb where all I have to loose is some of the gained reflex?

Here's 26"

Put your hands where we can see them and step away from the bow....   
It's fine IMO

I'm happy with the tiller as is but I want to go 2" more and I'm wondering if side tillering the mid limb is the way to do it.

[DC]

Although now that I'm staring at it is there a bit of a flat spot at the arrow?

Maybe just a smidge. Perhaps you could scrape just a little there and get the remaining weight off with sandpaper? 

I wouldn't take anything off the sides cause the width will give you stability and help it hold it's profile over time.

That's a good point.

Sweet lookin bend by the way.

I'd think you could get a bit more bend mid limb.

Ok... if pushed to say where I think it could work more .
I've marked 2 points that look thicker and don't seem to be bending much from the unbraced shape.
If you gain 1/8" movement near the fades, that ends up as 1/2" at the tip.... 1/2" at the tip is  1 1/2" extra draw.

I would definately not touch your mid limbs, right limb looks a little stiffer and I think if you scrape a little where Del's arrows are and a little at the last few inches just in front of the recurves you are done
