Left limb is a bit stronger than right, especially at midlimb.  Pretty good though.

It draws #38 @28" and I really like the way it shoots, very little hand shock comepaired to my first two bows I built, but would like a little more weight somewhere around #45. I have a hickory strip 1/8" thick, would I benefit any buy glueing it on the back.

Nice JOB!

I wouldn't mess with backing it now.  Just make another.

As soon as I can find another good grain board I will be at it again! Until then I am working on a hickory backed cherry bow. Its hard to find a red oak board with perfect grain. Is their any advantage by backing a red oak board with hickory even if I don't think if will break?

Tiller looks good to me. Save your hickory for another bow. If youre not worried about it breaking, I wouldnt back it. The advantage would be that you could glue in some reflex, but  your hickory could overpower the oak and cause it to take set then you would lose your reflex anyways.

Make the left limb (stronger) the bottom limb and shoot the bajeezers out of it.  Well done!
