The shelf is 1 1/2 above bow center, even tiller at end of fade outs and at 15, 20 and 25 from bow center. Tiller at 18 inch draw at the same distances is still the same on both limbs. Bow width at end of fadeouts is 1 1/4 tapering in straight lines to 1/2 inch just before nocks. It came out very light, but is a pleasure to shoot and dead in hand so I think the taper rate and design is good. Both limbs have same lenght from fade outs and 67» between nocks. I really missed weight on this one and it goes to show that small changes make a large difference. I made bows on this form years ago and from old notes I took I can see that with 16 inch riser 68 between nocks,maple lams, Exel glass from Finland .040 thick, total .0015 straight taper and a total stack thickness at end of fade outs at .370 that bow came out at 40 pounds at 28 draw. On this new one I used a 15 inch riser, 67 between nocks, Elm lams, Stabil-kore, Bjorn glass .036 thick, .003 taper that the last 7 inches goes into a .004 reverse taper and a total thickness at end of fade outs at .382. This new one came out at 30 pounds at 28 inches draw. I’ll post some pics when I get finish on it.
