are uneven limbs a problem?

Looks hingy on the inside of the right limb and stiff on the outer half of the right limb

For what it's worth, I think the RH side needs to move more midlimb.  BUT...I would definitely check it with a tillering gizmo before removing any wood.  It probably won't take much - hopefully you can stay comfortably above 50#!

Thanks for the fresh eyes, gents.  I need to thin the right side (top) as the tips are pretty clonky right now.  So maybe I shave a bit off the sides from midlimb out until the mids/outer is bending a bit better?

Whew, had a bit of an adventure last night.  While working this bow on the tree, the knot attaching my pull rope to the scale came loose at almost full-draw.  The bow shot, blew my scale to pieces and broke my tillering tree.     Doesn't seem to have hurt the bow, and once I find all the pieces of my scale and reassemble it, I'll be back to work.

I guess you answered your own question...apparently uneven limbs can be a problem!

Ha ha ha  Loose knots on a tillering setup can definitely be a problem!

that looks much better.. looks to me like right limb is bending more hard to tell with the small pic and my old eyes .. nice jump in poundage also.. only time will tell if the tiller tree incident will affect bow.. kinda like a dry fire.. gut

I think what saved it was the weight of the scale and rope (I use a heavy climbing rope on my tree), so it wasn't really a true dry-fire.  I've shot it a few times and it seems OK.
