Graphically this is the situation - the bow have a very hard section in the handle.

The handle will start to move as you increase the draw length. Better having a stiff handle now, than too much bend there early.

The tiller is looking very good. What weight are you at with 25"?

This is 30" draw - still hard in the upper limb maybe .. or eye in a lie .. also a little work in center.
~115-117# for 30"

Yes, I agree. Your top limb is stiffer, especially in the outer third.

Agreed. If that bow was mine, I'd get the top fade working a bit, and bring the tip of the top limb around a bit more.

Hi, dudes,
sо, that finished this bow - ~125 # @ 32 ".It's а very hard yet. I have a bow over 130 which pulled easier than this.

It certainly seems like you're struggling to get it to full draw!

 Looking awesome! Congratulations. Very sweet bend. Man whenever I get on this war bow section and start reading the pounds you guys are pulling, I start feeling very old and weak ::)
