What's wrong with it?

[Roy from Pa]

Today will be plowing snow day, our place, sisters, nephews, and neighbors.

Maybe haul in more firewood if I can get to the wood pile and uncover it.

Darn near a foot of the white stuff here and 21 inches up northern Pa:)

[kennym]

I was gonna ask ya if ya got the big snow.  Be careful out there buddy...

[Buemaker]

Take care of your back and ticker Roy. Showeling snow is a pain. Here in South Eastern Norway where we are supposed to have snow it is only raining for weeks now.

[Roy from Pa]

Thanks guys but I'll be plowing with the 4x4 quad..

[Flem]

Raining here today also. I'd rater be throwing snow!

It looks like that left corner of the overlay is not in full contact with the bow.  Might be how im looking at it.

It's cold at night and into the 40' during the day.   About 3" of snow on the ground and doesn’t want to melt.  Solstice only days away.

That isn't an overlay, it is a pad for the clamp. Unless I'm looking at it wrong...

Nock it off Sister McKenzie, go skin your doe:)

Thanks David.

Here is what I make for padding the back of the boo backing with so the clamps do not indent it.

You get any type of damage to the boo backing and it will prolly result in a failure.

I cut 2 inch pieces of bamboo, grind a little off the edges, then grind the back flat so the clamp doesn't slide off it.

And his core wood is still wider than the bamboo

Think you're right. 

[Roy from Pa]

Yup that's just a piece of boo I pad the back with.

[Mad Max]

Did it snow again last night Roy

[Roy from Pa]

Yes it did but only another inch.

More bow building or more snow plowing 
So your bows are Positive tiller with the bottom limb stronger, AFTER you do your limb timing what are the  measurements from fade to string on top and bottom limbs. I want to make sure I understand how you do it
 

[Roy from Pa]

I don't worry about tiller measurements, I tiller for equal limb timing by keeping my trees pull rope traveling straight down the black line on my tree that is positioned where my middle finger will be when shooting the bow, and whatever the tiller is, that's "what that bow wants."

A lot of guys don't understand that or care not to consider it.

The bottom limb is stronger because it's shorter than the top limb by 1.5", reason being is the center of the riser is 3/4" below bows center.. That makes my arrow shelf 1.25" above bows center. The closer you get the arrow shelf to the center of the bow, the more you are drawing the bow at it's center, "bows static pivot point".

There was a thread in here a long time ago, polling guys as to how far above the bows center they placed their arrow shelf.
The majority said 1.25" above center.

Have more plowing to do... Light snow falling:)

[Mad Max]

I'm starting to move my locator grip lower but not the riser.
I would STILL like to know what you end up with the measurements Plowboy Roy

[Roy from Pa]

Every bows measurement's are different. Either even or slightly negative.
