Tiller Help Please

I floor tillered this bow and have a short string on it, but one limb is bending more than the other. Any suggestions? Thanks, Rookie here.

Even this newbie can see that your right limb is too long.  Chop off 8 to 10 inches and you'll be good to go.  You're welcome :-)

If ya got lotsa time you can just take a rasp to the outer 3rd and maybe take off a 1/4 inch or so till it feels right.    :biglaugh:

I guess its ok.

Though your nocks look like they might be a little uneven, a gizmo will fix it.

It's too dark. You should paint it  a nice light color. Bananna yellow maybe...
