Tiller check pl.
« on: February 15, 2011, 09:04:14 am »
This is my latest bow. It was a tough tiller on a character elm stave. I think it is ok for start to use it, but like to hear opinions from pros :)

The bow is 67ntn 21.7 OZ 60# at 27, holds 2.5 reflex from the belly 1.5 from the back of the gripp. (drawn pic on 26)

Some cosmetic work left.







thanks

I really like the lines of this bow, especially the braced photo. Tiller looks fantastic. Great job.

looks spot on to me, really like both braced and unbraced profiles, and sweet full draw, bub

I'm thinking perfection has little adjustment.

Ok, a little stiff here, scrap a little there and then send it me for a chrono test.  ;D

Fuzy, you are out of control.  ::)
