Title: BBI Tillering question
Post by: chillz on August 04, 2009, 08:11:00 AM

Hello

I have been working on my first BBI and would like to ask you if this tiller looks ok. I havent added any reflex to the staff.
The dimensions are 68 ntn pulling 54 @ 28 right now.
The left side is the top side
Any imput would be great.

From an untrained newbie eye like mine, it appears stiff out of the right side fade about 4".   Other than that, good curve.

It could use some more bend at the fades, but it's okay like this. Get some hand-drawn full draw!

Looks pretty good. Shoot it a bit and check the tiller again.
