uuugh i keep losing the text when i go to re-size the pic!!!!!!!!!!
rawhide backed (thanks to tutlecreek) musclewood
lower limb stiffened up and stayed stiff even after exercising 30 plus times so i had to retiller
the right fade isnt a hinge but the curve of the wood, in fact it is fairly stiff at that fade
I think its 36lbs @ 18in? will need to double check that
PLEASE WORK PICTURE!!

Pull that puppy back another inch! 8)
This is where being a kid helps, I only need another 4 inches to reach my drawlength and another 2 to be safe
Also, i envy your ability to take my pic, edit and re-post it within a matter of minutes :P I guess I'm pretty behind the times for a 14 yr old huh ???

There's a lot going on with the character of the stave and with the orientation of the photo. The photo looks a little tilted to me. I straightened it. I don't know whether this will help you or not. But, here it is.

what are we, scientists or media specialists?

If you have not already give the brace height tiller a check. Make a mark a few inches down each limb from the handle (just past the fades) and take a measurement to the string. Ideally the top limb will be 3/16 of an inch larger than the bottom gap. This is called a positive tiller. It's not an exact science but helps.
As for computer skills, working for Dell has it's advantages. ;)

@PA.I did that but there was 1/2 in difference from upper to lower, so it needs more work
@hedgeApple. In your pic the door behind the bow is tilted a little so that line thingamajig might not be too accurate, but thank you for the imput, I think that my pic might be tilted too, just in the opposite direction
And@dictionary. Whichever helps us make bows better, or maybe both ::)

I wasn't looking at the door, I was trying to square up the tiller tree. PA's way is probably more accurate because sometimes handle set a little funny on the tiller tree. There seems to be some character in the handle/fade area. There's always a lot of variable when building a bow. That what makes it so fun. :)
