elm static recurve
« on: June 30, 2021, 03:26:20 pm »
hello everyone!
first time tillering a static recurve...Can someone give an opinion on the tiller? its elm sapling pyramidish profile, 55 ntn, with upper limb 1 inch longer than lower one. I am at 24“ (my draw is 25-25,5 inches) with 54# (my target weight) started with 3 inches reflex, and now has 1.5 " after taking string, and gets to 2" in a matter of minutes. .... whats your opinion?! Thank you

Im not sure how straight the stave was before tillering but it looks like it’s taken most of the set around mid-limb. Being a pyramid profile with the wider inner limbs I think you could easily squeeze the last inch of draw with a little scraping in the inner limb without taking additional set. Looks like a nice even bend though.

Totally agree with Ryan. I had a very similar situation on a hackberry static and was advised to get the inners moving a little more. It does look very promising though.

Yep, needs to bend more out of the fade but go slow.
