My tree is setup for either split finger or 3 under tillering, assuming a 3/8th high nocking point on the bow string when shooting.

I tiller for equal limb timing which balances the limbs to the point they are being drawn by the tree rope and later the actual shooters fingers.

The bows shoot quiet as a mouse.

Ask Crooked-stic how his bow shoots.

When a guy orders a bow from a bowyer, if he shoot's 3 under, the bowyer will tiller it for that by tillering the bow to a 1/8th negative tiller or even tiller. And with split finger shooters the bowyer will tiller it for about 1/4 positive tiller.

Yeah...  Ok...  I remember you explaining that in the past...  Thanks...

  I tried negative and positive tiller...  Three under is always noisier than split finger...  I shoot three under... It's way more accurate for me...  Now it's hard to shoot split finger, if I try...

Yes 3 under is way more accurate for me also.

But to each their own is how I look at things.

The video below is a bow being tillered for split finger, notice the tree pull rope tracking straight down the black line on the wall?

That means the limbs are bending in sync.

Which means both limbs get back to brace after the shot at the same time which equals a smooth quiet shooting bow.

A bow not tillered for equal limb balance will be noisy because you have to keep adjusting the nocking point up or down to get the damn arrows to fly right.

Put one of your bows on the tree and draw a line straight down from the nocking point on the wall then work the bow on the tree. I'll bet money the tree rope drifts off one way or the other.

I’m not sure if it’s gonna work yet . This one is 60” and third off the form . First one Was 60” and  blew up , too much hook and limb twisted and exploded . Second was 58” and worked ok but I wanted the extra hook so this one is 60” with stabilcore under glass on both sides .

I think it could work at 60" :bigsmyl:

Is that a forward handle?  I wonder if that thing is going to bend the riser.  Looks awesome, can't wait to see it in action!

Do you have a full draw pic Kenny? I’m curious how much the hooks unroll.

It is a forward handle, riser should be good, won’t be much added in grip throat .

Haven’t had it to full draw yet , be a couple days before I get to mess with it again

Bob , been thinking about this and almost nixed it but had to try one more... lol
Stay sharp, Kenny.

If you can get that thing shooting it's going to be pretty nasty.  My bet is 210.

Done one awhile back. Looks about the same. FH and all 16 in. I think the riser should have been about 20 or 21 in.long to get a lot less working limb. It was not nice after the shot. Not unbearable but not nice. Had no trouble getting it to pull straight. Think it had the Super lam in it also.

Still haven't been back on it, that 4 letter word---work--- gets in the way of all the fun stuff.

BTW, when I strung it it was 1/16"  (positive or negative) tiller...

Kenny,  do you have an overlay under that tape?
