Re-Tiller Check please
« on: August 07, 2014, 10:36:00 pm »
Hickory pyramid bow 63" ttt.  Got frisky one night and got her to 50@27 shown here:



But then heat treated and added a bit of reflex and flip tippage shown here:



And now I sit at 45@23 shown here:



Now, I am pretty prone to paralysis by analysis so I figured I would let you experts...and yall are experts...weigh in.  I am looking for ~55@27.  Before I heat treated the left limb was bending too much about 1/3rd out from the fade and not enough at the fade...the right was pretty not bad.  Are yall still thinking the same thing now?

Thank yall!

Looks good but you could get the outer limbs bending a bit more. I usually leave the last 6" stiff.

I'd also say that the bend is located too much at the fades but without seeing the front view profile I don't want to give any definitive statement :-)

I'm pretty much with Pat.
I was going to say the left was a bit stiff in the outer third, but it has some reflex there when unstrung... so all in look pretty good to me. :)

If the left is the bottom limb I would call it good until I shot it some,if you are at the weight you want and draw length I would call it done, if you still have some weight to give what Pat/Del said. :)
