Should I still get the tip bending a little more on the left? Now I'm confused. At least the hingy part is gone

Waiting on ur input Chris, if u can clarify what u mean by too heavy?

Do u mean it looks like the one limb is traveling farther. If so that's the angle on the back of the handle.

From the picture I see the right limb looks to be longer and stiffer than the left. Could be an optical illusion pertaining to the difference in length because the handle is not centered in the saddle. It looks to me that the right limb in the upside down picture needs to bend slightly more directly out of the fade  ???

I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

Looks like the hinges are gone, but I'd move the bend out closer to the tips personally.

Lol I've heard a lot of different suggestions. So I'm confused. I'm gonna get the left limb being more in the litter third and then see what it looks like.

I have about half the time I've put into my BL bow from toms stash into this bow. And I'm not even frustrated with that. Lol. Damn bow bug!

I put another 30 arrows through her today so I think she's ready to travel. She'll be heading north and west of here.  ;D
