From the fade to midlimb on the left needs some scrapes.  There is a spot just past midlimb that is bending too much.  Mark it "NO".  Looks like there is a bit of a roller coaster there in the unbraced pic.
Take a kid hunting!

couldn't wait any longer, so i strung it up and started working back down to 18".  pulling 39#@18 now.  took a few scrapes off the inner third of the left limb right limb is a bit stiff near the tip but its got a pin knot cluster there.

not sure i see it on the right limb, but i agree on the left.  I think i need to takes some meat off midlimb on the left.  it needs to get weaker anyway cause its gonna be the bottom.
 

took my brace up to 5" and pulled to 20.  41#.   im going to move my bottom pully now that im getting close, set it up to sync the limbs for a split... or 3 under... or whatever that guy shoots.    ;)

Right limb isn't bad, I just would stay away from there. What brace height you have it too now?

5" brace.  before i get myself all jammed up on this limb sync thing again.... i got that backwards don't I?  its easy tillering for myself cause the way i hold the bow and string is pretty much center and center.  the way this tree is,  it allows the bow to rock.  when i move the pully over to simulate a higher hold on the string, the bow tips to the top, or right. so in order to correct for that i want the top limb to get weaker right?

Oh Jeff!!!!     :help:    :pray:

whats tricky (to me) is that the limbs come off the handle at slightly different angles, and then wen the tips go stiff they come off at different angles too.
