This is a version of a R/D and these styles play tricks with my eyes!To me the bottom looks ok ,but the top outer should bend more?It is a pyramid taper and I am getting close to my weight and I don't want to bugger it up! Thank for looking!

I think both outers should bend a tad more, but not much. Your tiller is near perfect IMO.
The first black line is how much he has the handle off-vertical.
The circle is for tillering.
-
That circle doesnt work with every tiller. No offense whatsoever squirrel, but I despise that stupid circle on tiller pics, just a peve of mine. Whats the bow look like unbraced?
-
Unbraced.
-
Id say it looks good. Take some beef off the tip thickness. Maybe get them to flex slightly at full draw, or close to it.

I agree

Yea, but its helpful to a newbie like me.

To me it looks like the bottom limb is a bit too strong, hence the tipping.

Nothing wrong with that but like pearl said it doesn't work on every bow
-
Yes try and get the outer limbs to 'come round' some more. Only a little though :)
-
If I was close to weight I would probably shoot the crap out of it before I did anything. :) Looks good to me. :)

that tiller looks good to me and if there is no hand shock then i would shoot it as-is. if i was being picky i would say that the part just before the lower recurve needs to bend more. otherwise it looks good to me :laugh:
-
Simple. If it balances and shoots well, don't ruin it by tweaking it down to 30 lbs. I speak from experience on this one.
-
If I had an opinion that mattered id give it to ya ...
-
Thank's 4 the input guys!
-
Like Pappy said. Put some arrows through her and see where it ends up. Probably just a little sandpaper work after that. Just stay within draw weight limits.

I am with Pearl drums hate those circles! :laugh:

Looks good to me. Shoot it in and that bottom limb might loosen up a bit and bring it in perfect. And even if it doesn't. Looks damn good to these eyes(minus the circle).
