Tiller Check!
« on: May 19, 2013, 08:19:50 pm »
Hey guys,

Haven't built a bow in a while and I finally got an urge to do so after making my PVC creation. Just wanted to see what you thought of this tiller. Pyramid front profile. If you think its good I'll pretty her up.

1 1/8" wide through the handle
straight taper to 3/8" tips
red oak
1" inch resting set.
45#@27"

Let me know.

Jon

It doesn't get much better than that.  What was the length on that bow?

Very nice.  My only critique is it's usually easier to aim with your eyes open ::) ;)

How did you manage to get that lined up so well?!  (arrow parallel with rail, etc?)  I always end up a little off-angle tryna do that lining up for the picture thing.
