A pyramid MAY be less stable than a parallel width design. If you are only going for a mild r/d then you could do a pyramid front taper. I normally keep the first 12 inches parallel then taper into the tips.

That's what I thought, since I'm going to put deflex in the inner limb, I figured it needs more material so it won't fail...

12" is about half of the limb... is it enough or should I make 2/3 of the limb parallel
