Hey guys, been playing with a new design and first bows tiller is way out of wack! Top limb is 1/2" negative. These limbs are pretty narrow to start, was gonna take a little off the sides then maybe take some off the belly glass.
Other option may be to cut bottom Nocks shorter to help bring closer to where I need to be.

Thoughts? Ideas?

Where DOES it need to be? What are you shooting for?

I do mine a little differently than most. I would time the limbs so the string fulcrum tracked properly on the tillering tree, and let the braced profile be whatever it is. Especially with a new design, in order for the limbs to be synchronized, who knows what will be 'correct'/best? So I'd let IT tell ME. Perhaps it SHOULD be tillered negative?

Is the bottom limb currently shorter or are the limbs the same length?

Same length, played with lightly sanding the sides and the belly glass, got her to dead tiller. The limbs seem to be in time, still haven't shot it yet, nervous I guess. I always have high expectations of my bows performance.
