To me, it looks like the center of each limb is stiff but with lam bows it depends on what you had planned for it to look like. Can we see a braced and unbraced profile shot?

These are all that I have right now. The bow is being built for me, and as I get more pics, I will post them.

Looks good to me, in your full draw picture, it looks like you have the bow canted a tad, that doesn't help the look. But with all that reflex, the limbs look like they are bending pretty well.
