My first bamboo backed ipe. What do you guys think?

 

I shot it a little today and it shot surprisingly well.

Is it a reflex/reflex design, Scott?  If so the tiller looks pretty good to me.   :thumbsup:

Would need an unbraced picture for comparison to make an accurate, fair assessment.

Brace height looks a little high, I'd also tend to say it looks a tad stiff around mid limb, would need a front profile picture to give an accurate assessment though.

If your width taper is even, I think I would make the mid-limb do a little more work.  It is tough to tell for sure without a front profile and unbraced pic though.  

If those are 12" tiles, that brace looks to be about 9".  That's too high.  You might need a longer string  :)
