Looks to me like you've got a bit of a hinge in the bottom limb just below the fade.

Nice job looks like it shoots  ;D I do see a slight hinge as adb said but it looks like it works for u for now i like the back of the bow and grip looks good, nice job

I noticed that in the pic but I cant see it on the tree,I fixed me a pulley for the tree so i can watch them bend.  Thanks for the response!

Nice bow!   :) I really like the contrasting handle riser wood and it looks like it is a pretty awesome bow!  Bookmarked for January BOM contest!
