Tiller check?
« on: January 25, 2017, 07:04:11 pm »
How's it lookin?

Top limb looks like it's working a little more to me, but I always like to check with you folks  :)

Good eye Pat! I never would have seen that. How in the heck do you guys do that? You notice the most subtle (yet important) things.

The bottom limb not doing much in the fade.

Bottom limb may be a little stiff but maybe not if the arrow is nocked low.. God eye, Pat.

looks like you have a great bow in the making, what is it? I think you are very close on the tiller and I agree on the nocks. One observation though... you are still using parachute cord..  ;D

Have you had any luck getting Fast Flight Plus or equivalent bow string?

Cheers

Phil

PS: bow making and yoga...great combination!

 O:) Actually, this time it's a nylon rope tied together. But the good news is I ordered and received some Fast Flight and have successfully made a string! Just not for this one yet.  :embarassed:
