LOL - OK, Kris & Ruddy - have a heart on the po', po' rabbit  ;)  .

I know you'll keep at it, on and off, Ruddy, until you either "talk" it into what you want it to do - or it gives up the ghost, and turns into dust. Advice from folks like Pat B, Art B, and others will keep you doing the best you possibly can, I'm sure. What more can a guy ask, anyway.

LOL - that's true, Kris, but that wasn't how I meant the use of the word "talk" (that time    ;)   ). He really does have a "way" or knack with wood but it is done with hard, careful work and patience, not real talk.

Aligning recurves for the first time can be nerve racking and frustrating I know. Make sure you're pulling the bow straight down on the tillering board Rudy. Oh so important with recurves. Once I get the sring on one, and to normal brace height, I sight down from the handle to the tip to see if any correction is needed. But I think first, you should make sure the limbs are good and straight, and any twist removed, leaving only the recurves to correct.

If you need any help, just post us some pics........Art
