I got it tillered to my desired weight and draw. I braced it and put a few arrows through it. It is a sweet shooter, absolutely no handshock. I am planning to add walnut/antler tip overlays and was wondering if I can thin the tip at an angle from the back to add the tip overlays like many do with osage? I plan to do that but maybe someone knows that maple for some reason shouldn't be done that way?
It does appear that it will take an inch or so of set, is that normal or is there something I did to induce it? I exercised the limbs after limb removal, I'm certain it was dry, do some woods simply take more set?
I shoot 3 under and made the lower limb stiffer, -1/8" as measured with a bow square, is this possibly why no handshock? I really haven't finished the tips as I planned to put overlays on and know tip weight can attribute to handshock.
Thanks for the advice, I appreciate the help.
