O uploaded the FDC to the bowyers group on Facebook and they said the same thing.
Some guys suggested I'll use  more taper and a tip wedge

How is your width taper. taper all the way to the fade or back how far down the limb. This taper ca work the same as more forward taper and keep the core thicker for stability. Although with your gradual hook and stable core you can use .002 taper okay.

It's 1.5" wide, parallel up to about 10" from the tips and then tapers. Now the tips are 1" wide but I'll narrow them to 1/2" and check again.

Do you think 0.001" taper will benefit more from a pyramid width taper? Or should I keep it as is?

Not sure what a pyramid taper is.

Not sure what a pyramid taper is.

That's triangular back profile that has straight side to side tapers from the fades to the tip. It looks like a very elongated pyramid, hence the name.

A red oak pyramid bow I did this spring:
