Tiller check
« on: February 05, 2010, 10:19:13 pm »
Ok, well I've taken 2 1/8 inches off each tip and scraped and sanded the outer portion of the limbs.  Hand shock seems to have gone down a lot.  Sorry about the picture quality, my wife was on the floor with our nephew when she took it.  I have a better one at home I will post later if need be.  Thanks for the help!

Last time on the scale I think it was pulling a little over 100 # at 32 inches.

bottom third of the lower limb appears a  little stiff.  But that limb looks like is a bit of character so it might be an optical illusion.

Make sure you have some matching arrows preferably 950gr.+ and 34" long or something like this maybe longer..If it shoots good then the tiller is close, and getting the tips a bit smaller will help make it shoot sweet, and a low weight low stretch string too..

Well, I need to get some heavy arrows still but I did shoot a few shots with one of my standard target arrows and the hand shock has gone down a lot.  I think I will thin the tips a little more and maybe just do a horn strip overlay instead of solid horn tips.  Any thoughts?
