Getting the limbs past the reflex takes a lot of stress and misjudging the tiller on these bows can be maddening at best.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

You don't want the outer 3rd to bend like a 1/4 moon.

They can stay a little bit flat.

Must be your lack of tillering experience.

That and hickory hickory and hickory makes for a heavy bow.

Lack of experience? Do you know how many weeks I've been doing this! Hell I've got half a dozen successful bows and one of em is a R/D.
Guess not enough huh.
As stiff as it was should've gotten what I wanted out of it, I screwed the pooch basically.
