Are the full draw and tree the same draw?  Or are you pulling further in the full draw pic? 
For some reason the bow looks a little better in the full draw pic. Don’t know if it’s drawn a little further and outer third is bending more or it’s just the background playin tricks on my eyes.

No it's the pics on the tree with the shop lighting it did that before with other bows it looks like the limb closer to the light bends more and you get a funky pic if I reverse the bow it will look the same and the 60 in. Looked the same  I need a gridded tree but every thing in my small shop has to be portable I will get a out side full draw pic when the wife isn't obsessed with fall decor...lol ,It will probably get more bend as I narrow but I'm with in a couple pounds of where I want so going slow !

You don’t even need a gridded background. Just a solid background. It will help you(and us) see what the bow is doing.
Just mount the tree on that wall where you took the 60” full draw pic and call it decor :biglaugh:

The sacrifices we make.
But it was well worth it.
Bends look much better in that pic.

Lol hey Kenny or Brad do you think on this one I could depart from the norm of strait taper front view profile and take the tips about 10 in. out and taper more narrow with out effecting tiller ? My problem is Im close to my target weight and I need to still final sand ,I dont want to side tiller more much as I would defiantly lose more weight but need to get the outers lighter with this lighter weight bow ? If it was a wood bow I wouldnt think twice but Im a glass bow green pea 😃 ?

I don’t see why not. They do it all the time on recurves.

You will probably see just a little more bend in the outer limbs

Ok thanks Brad with those wedges in the supper lam tips it's pretty thick I think I can get away with a fair amount with out bending or changing the string angle much ,I'm leaving the inners alone this bow loses it fast in those areas like most bows but a little more exponentially due to the reflex I might be able to narrow up the mids a bit yet too with out losing much , got my belly overlay blank glued up today & started working on the 68'' R/D while it's curing !

I haven’t tried the double front taper like you are talking, but have thought about.  So far haven’t needed to. As all the bows I’ve built have been 60” and under. So I need to keep my tips stiff to maintain string angle. 

Most of my bows have been 1/2” wide at nocks. A couple of them I did them 1/2” wide an inch in front of the nocks.

On future builds you can adjust taper rate and wedge length to achieve the same or similar results.

I just put the calipers on the tips they are .338 at the knocks and it takes whole lot of pressure to get them to even budge a little, pretty much 10 in. leavers  so I think I will start at 10 in. & pencil scribe the sides take them down slow with sanding sticks & check for bend on the tree as I go ,should only take a pot a coffee & about 5 hrs...lol  then I will smooth in from the mids and hope I lose little weight, it surprises me how much mass you can lose with glass for so little material removed

Sounds like fall keeps you busy with more than hunting. But judging from that bow I'm glad to see that at least your not a Bears fan!
