Left limb, mid limb need to bend more.

I agree with Dano. Left limb midway needs scraping. Looks like your handle is to big. On these short bows you need all the limb you can get. Dean

I was going to mention the handle as well, but figured it's too late to do anything about, since the fades are all ready cut in. From the looks of the unbraced profile, the bow doesn't have any un due set, so you have it bending pretty well for a short bow.
