I shot it a little today and it shot surprisingly well.
Is it a reflex/reflex design, Scott? If so the tiller looks pretty good to me. :thumbsup:
Would need an unbraced picture for comparison to make an accurate, fair assessment.

braced picture
Good looking profile on your bow. Nice job :thumbsup:
Brace height looks a little high, I'd also tend to say it looks a tad stiff around mid limb, would need a front profile picture to give an accurate assessment though.
If your width taper is even, I think I would make the mid-limb do a little more work. It is tough to tell for sure without a front profile and unbraced pic though.
If those are 12" tiles, that brace looks to be about 9". That's too high. You might need a longer string :)
