With your bow strung measure the distance from the string to the belly 12" in from the where the string touched the limb at the nock. If your gizmo tillering is spot on this will tell you if you have a stiff upper limb. I like the top limb 1/8" to 3/16" positive, I shoot split finger.

Thank you Marc, George and Will. Much appreciated. Eric, I did as you said and took measurements. My results indicated a 1/16" positive tiller so I guess you are correct that my top limb is a little stiff. Thanks for the advice. Something I will be more cognizant of in future builds.

If it shoots good for you I wouldn't worry about it, if your arrows hop off the rest you will know why.
