56" t2t 10"static 2"fade 12"working 2"fade 4"handle
hickory/walnut Goal is 45-50#@28"
I've got it to a 4" brace and its about 35# @ 17, I'm working slowly, but one of the limbs is twisting a little when i flex it, its kind of corkscrewing slightly, I have a 4" gizmo but I cant use it because the limbs are too short, I tried to make a 2" long gizmo but it didnt work either...
See how the front shoulder is pulling down... (http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6059/6263092285_657478eb5c.jpg)
And how much it pulls the string off center...

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

That right side looks quite flat to me.
-
Ya barely bending the last 2/3. havent been working that side as much trying to straighten the other limb. its a bit behind.
-
At brace the left side looks good to me. Get that right side balanced out and give her a little more pull. Allot can change once that happens.

Roger that!
