That's looking darn good to me Ronnie. That fade on the left with the whooptedoo kinda throws me a little but in the end you want a good even tiller. Both them limbs are looking good and stiff/stout. The eaisiest thing for me is to kinda get the limbs bending evenly, and get em going just at the fades, then a good symetrical bend from there to about six inches from the tips - that's just the way I like to do it :).

Durn, Ronnie. Looking at the pic's I was thinking that the left limb was a tad stiff. But toward the end it opened up to match. Looking at that group of arra's - I'd say you've got yerself a good shooter. Fine bow ya got there, and wish I could shoot like that ;).

Thanks Brother keep in mind that is only a ten yard group. I just thought it was amazing that it was the first arrows fired from a new bow.R.C.

I'm with cowboy on the right limb,but sometime it is hard to tell on the tree,sometime
they look better when drawn by hand like you are going to shoot it.It wasn't bad at all
just looked like it needed a little but with it shooting like that I would leave it alone.Nice
job on your first Osage and nice shooting.I think you should be ready for opening day,all  you need is something to shoot at. :) :) Can't wait to see it all finished up. :)
