Need YOUR expert advice!
« on: February 16, 2009, 11:35:00 AM »
Tom has been working on a BBO and we think we are at the final string tillering stage.

The bow is currently 47 pounds and is 66 inches nock to nock.

It is braced at 16 inches in this photo.  Do the limbs look right or do we need to take some more off and if so which limb and how far out from the riser.  

We think the right limb is not bending as much but are not sure where to take more wood off(by sanding).

Thanks for your advice.

All the bend is concentrated in one area.You need more wood off close too the fades and the outer third also.A tilering gizmo really helps with this.

Your near handle is way too stiff.  You are going to loose serious weight if you work them too much but you'll need to blend the bend in a little more.  Also draw a line on the tips about 6" or so from the end and make sure you are getting bend out to that area.
