Howard, the unbraced pic shows the relaxed bow and how much over straining or not the bow has encountered while it was being built and tillered. The full draw pic shows how well the bow was tillered; are there hinges or flat spots or are both limbs bending evenly and together. Most of us wood bow builders aren't looking to adversely criticize the builder but trying to show the builder where improvement can be made in future bows they make. One reason many of us make these comments and observations is because we are passing on the knowledge that was passed to us over the years by the wood bow builders that came before us.
