I floor tillered this bow and have a short string on it, but one limb is bending more than the other. Any suggestions? Thanks, Rookie here.

Well, at least you didn't screw up your z-splice like you've done in the past   :laughing:

Even this newbie can see that your right limb is too long.  Chop off 8 to 10 inches and you'll be good to go.  You're welcome :-)

Looks better than they usually do Roy. You learn quick.

Now you'll have something to work on during your "bownanza", Roy.

If ya got lotsa time you can just take a rasp to the outer 3rd and maybe take off a 1/4 inch or so till it feels right.    :biglaugh:

I guess its ok.

Though your nocks look like they might be a little uneven, a gizmo will fix it.

It's too dark. You should paint it  a nice light color. Bananna yellow maybe...
