is my project doomed from the start?

I've gained 1 1/2 inches of draw and to me it seems like the inner half of both limbs is bending decently while the outher half is pretty stiff (left outer 1/2 limb stiffer then the right one). What do you guys think?

After a long pause I got at this bow again, now it's finally at low brace height. I also corrected the deflex between the knot and the end of the left limb, to make it easier to judge the bend there. To my eye the bow seems a bit stiff in the inner 1/3 of each limb and in the knot area, what do you guys think?

Yup that’s what I see too.  Looking good though.  Get it to brace and then get better idea on how the bend is coming from brace.  The bend draw will look different from brace.
