Title: Rookie Question - BW PSR
Post by: rappstar on December 18, 2007, 08:19:00 PM
I got my PSR last week.  I've been hanging it by the string on two pegs (parallel).  When I step back to admire it, it looks like the top limb has a deeper curve than the bottom limb.  Is that because of the handle/grip?

Bottom limb is typically tillered a little stiffer to compensate for the grip not being center

Measure the distance between the string and the limbs at the deepest points. The bottom limb should be less than the top if it is tillered for split finger.

What Jerry said the first time was right on. Quite noticeable on Widows too. Your bow is fine.
