I just received a 1969 Bear Kodiak Hunter. I am getting some vibrations in the limbs when I shoot this bow. I have tried a brace height of 8" to 9". There seems to be less vibration at 8.5". I do shoot 3 under. I checked the tiller and it is 5/8" difference from the top limb fadeout to the bottom limb fadeout. I have a 1969 K-Mag with 3/8" tiller with no vibration and a 1969 Grizzly with 1/4" tiller with no vibration. Do you know if 5/8" tiller is standard for this bow or is it out of tiller? If it is out of tiller, what are my options? Thanks!

Usually those who shoot ILF tiller their bows 0, or both limbs even for 3 finger under shooting. The split guys tiller them about +1/8". I'd say 5/8" postitive is huge. Maybe lowering your nocking point some to compensate will work. Also try shooting split to see if the vibration dissapears. If so and lowering the nock point doesn't work your options would be to tiller the bottom limb or sell the bow.
