Tiller advice wanted on photo

[StickMark]

This is a hickory board, one layer of sinew over back, one lean course down middle.
Pulled back about 22".  Bow has working limbs of 22.2 inches, starting at the end of fades (flatter part); overall length is 57 inches. 

I have a short draw.  @23.5, 24 seems long for me. I can accommodate that though, and would like to reach out more draw length wise.  Bow is @ 44# or so at 22". 

Thanks in advance for looking.

To my eye your bottom limb looks stiffer right out of the fade.

Looks pretty good to me, but outer half could come round a tad more as the sting isn't making a 90 degree angle with the tips yet... and that's about where you'd want to stop bending.

Unbraced pic?  I agree with Del assuming a straight profile. More bend outboard and possibly a bit more near the bottom fade as well. Unbraced will confirm or cancel that out though.

unbraced, just after pulling and getting the lower fade working more by sanding it down a bit.
Maybe the stiffer outer limbs causing the slight bend mid limb immediately after unstringing?

[StickMark]

Better, lol

[StickMark]

Sorry about the confusion.  Better?

[StickMark]

Still a little stiff on lower fade,?, and I will gently get the tips bending just a little more.  Thanks.

I'd say the lower fade is fine... the upper is a whisker weak IMO... anyhow you want the lower limb stiffer.
Put your hands where we can see 'em and step away from the fades...

Tiller looks better in the last pic.  Getting a balance between how the limbs bend in relation to each other helps with handshock

Stick,
         To get more out of it, the black areas need some attention, maybe just a couple light scrapes at a time then exercise...Your nock/hand looks very high in the photo and that could be causing the out of balance appearance in hand...I do like stiff tips, but top is much stiffer...

Looking better. Still appears stiff outboard top limb. Not by much.

Will be getting on these suggestions.  I see what you guys are seeing.

I will add one more thing. The tiller needs a bit of work to be right. Don’t make the mistake of pulling it to full draw with those issues. If some part is stiffer, then another spot is weaker. That weak spot or spots will take set robbing you of cast. Chrysalls or frets can ruin it. Check the tiller and get it right at a much shorter draw and completely avoid that.

You're a smart man for posting pics and asking for advice on tiller. I've learned a ton from doing it. I agree with Don's black marks. But like said, it doesn't need much. Lookin' good.
