Looks nice. Your bottom limb has some twist but with wood bows that's not always a problem. If your limbs were a bit less wide but a little thicker the twist would be less likely. Also check the thickness form one side of that limb to the other. This will cause less strength on one side over the other resulting in twist.
  There are trade-offs with every thing we do with wood bows. It is up to each of us to figure out what works best for us.
 You seem to have the basic fundamentals down pretty good. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Pat.
Yes, I think it's a combination of things. What you mentioned and also badly cut nocks.

Yep. This is it. Thanks for the words.

I'm gonna try and heat the twist outta the limb and then I'm gonna start another bow. Maybe hickory.
