Thanks, everybody.  I appreciate the feedback.

Your first primitive kill was two years ago?  I thought you were still new to this whole thing!
Well, not new to hunting, but definitely new to making bows.  And that deer was my first and so far only primitive kill (I didn't get to hunt last year for family reasons).  So yeah, I'm a grown-up human but still a baby primitive archer.  :)

Nice looking bow with the artwork. :)
Well done :)
If you wanted a little critique on the tiller it should bend a little more mid limb out, a wee bit less inner limbs. You may start seeing a little set in those inner limbs over time.

Thanks!  I very much want critique on the tillering.  I see the upper, inner limb too stiff, so I'm not seeing the same thing that you are.  Just takes time and experience, I guess?  I wanted to keep the tips a bit stiff; that's good, right?
