Bow time

The second one went much better 
Rounded all the edges of the limbs
So now I am ready to tiller and then adjust weight
I did brace it up and drew it still feels like 65 pounds at least and I'm shooting for 52

I shot it a couple of times with gregs arrows and it is pretty nice. Hits hard and not as much hand shock as I thought there would be for being light in physical weight. It's heavy in draw weight but u think we can get it down .
the presences of any noticeable hand shock in a three piece takedown recurve would seem to me to be indicative of a significant problem with limb timing and/or tiller. with that much of the middle of the bow being completely rigid there should be no hand shock. noise is another good indicator of deficiencies in timing and/or tiller.

It is at 1/4 inch positive tiller now I think. Greg may remember better it may he only 1/8th. We have some work there. Dons bows are 3/4 of an inch and that seems smooth. I thought gregs bow was as quiet as an assenheimer with no string silencers
3/4"? are you sure? that is an enormous disparity between the limbs. did you measure the tiller at full draw? that is what really matters. what it looks like at brace isn't important. seems like both my Assenheimers are 1/8" positive tiller in the upper limb (lower limb stiffer). might be worth a trip over here to put bows on tillering tree with single point of contact to see how well they are balanced before you get too far along with weight removal.
