Ruddy Darter:
Thank you very much meanewood,
  With the bow reworked to 90lbs or so draw weight, I have a set of 3/8" ash arrows that hopefully will make a nice pairing, they are a little too whippy for anything bordering 100lbs or over in draw weight, so that worked out well  :D
Hi tradcraftsman,
 I do not believe so..but welcome other opinions on this (I straight lined a pic as best I could and I am also aiming slightly downwards in the shot), I have two areas mid and outer top limb-----> with pronounced reflex areas, the outer one like a dog leg that took some time to get moving,  and below the centre on the bottom limb<-------- coming off of a reflex a deflex that was a major weak spot initially as well as the same again in an area outer bottom limb. Marked in red and green on pic. I do feel I got it all moving and pulling even on draw, but proof is in the pudding and I'll see how the bow looses a few arrows some time soon, with good luck willing.

Wow, that bow is a real beast. Excellent work.

bownarra:
Nice bow but I'd say its bending too much near the handle, not enough in the mid to outers :)
Did you trace the side profile before tillering? How does it compare now?
