Nice job. I think you would have reduced set by having the outer two thirds of the limbs bend a bit more.

Thanks Ladies and Gentlemen ,I will post a full draw as soon as possible.
About the outer 2/3rds of the limb I'll experiment with another Bow because this bow is to short already for piking.

I really like the camo back and the pin nocks. Think I might have to do the pin nocks on my next bow. they are cool.
Actually to me looks like your tiller is perfect on the left limb. maybe a bit stiff on the right in the middle but not bad.
How does she shoot.. that is the important question....
Nice bow.
congrads.
