DC, I had a piece of yew here so decided to build one similar to what you are doing. Build when much smoother and faster than I expected. I glued in 5" reflex with no perry reflex, next time I might add 2" perry reflex. Bow holds 3" of reflex so I lost 2". Inspite of the set force draw was better than I expected at 56.8#. Going to try and flight shoot it this weekend. I should be slightly below 200 fps but I don't plan on shooting it through a crono anyway. I got lucky on the tiller. I used the belt sander to get it to floor tiller put it on the long string and it showed I was ready to brace. I braced it and took it right to 51.2# @ 28". Dropped down to exactly 50# after several pulls so no tillering at all. At 35# I think this bow would have been an absolute screamer.
I think at 35# it would not have taken any appreciable set.
