The (straight) limbs are attached to the riser at an angle. Since the limbs have only a small recurve and no reflex, you basically introduced deflex into the bow. This bow will probably have a really low early draw weight and low string tension at brace. It currently barely bends in the limbs at all. Typical (modern) takedown recurves have much more dramatic recurves and also significant reflex. This creates a lot of early draw weight, despite the angle that the limbs are mounted to the riser. Although this bow looks good, and there is nothing 'wrong' with it, it probably shoots rather slow and performs like maybe a typical 30-35# flatbow would. You could have increased this bow's potential by either reflexing the limbs, or joining the limbs at zero degrees to the riser. In fact, you could still reflex the limbs by heat/steam and gain a lot more weight. Retillering it down to 40# again is then possible, and would result in a faster and probably better shooting bow.
