1/4 less on top? Larger measure on top is positive tiller
Stay sharp, Kenny.

If it shoots good for you and as much as you narrowed the limbs.  I think I would call it good. I hate to open a can of worms and this is my opinion so, take it for what it is worth.  Just an opinion.  Tiller measurement, is over rated and if a bow is quite and shoots with little handshock or buzz I let the tiller measurement be what it wants to be.  Having said that I always check it and it usually is between even and 1/8" positive.

So today I got to do a good bit of shooting with the bow and have to say I am happy with it, shot consistently for well over 100 shots today. Before I put a Flemish twist string and bear puff silencers on it it had a good amount of buzz when shot, but is nice and quiet after they were added.

Here are a few pics of the bow at the 3-D shoot I went to today, still have some work to do on the finish but otherwise I'm calling it done.

Looks like you straightened that out quite a bit! Nice work.

If you want to straighten it the rest of the way you could try the hot water trick someone else mentioned. Might take some side sanding too, but you could get it perfect from there. You're very close.

Again, well done!
