Title: Three piece tillering help
Post by: critter69 on August 21, 2011, 01:57:00 PM
Iam trying to make a three piece take down long bow R/D.Got to the tillering tree and one limb is moving 1" more then the other,not sure what to do know? (16 inch riser 62 inch nock to nock)I have it on a long string and pull to about 5-6 inches of limb travel) Hope this helps.With out you guys on here this would be impossible. My respect for you bow builders has risen off the chart!Thanks in advance Jeff

I took very little off the width of the limb that was stiff,got closer, then sanded the glass lightly and got it to work the same. Shot it today for the first time and seems to shoot real good.(came out 1/4 more tiller on the top limb at brace)I still have a lot of final sanding to do on the riser and apply finish.Hopefully it holds together this is my second attempt.(first one riser snapped trying to string it)Dont know if thats what others would have done, but seems to have worked.
