Title: Tiller check
Post by: Brian from GA on May 14, 2025, 10:38:30 AM

Hey guys, I'm looking at the tiller on a bow, and it seems to have very little bend towards the limb tips. FT is .002/in total taper with two tapered and one parallel. This look good to you?

You can easily go up to .003- .004 FT on a long bow design to help get those limbs bending a bit further out, and use tip wedges to stiffen the tips up. 

How long is your riser and bow length in this photo?  Have got a close up on the fade section?
