i did guesse work on the hole thing. i just tillered it untill it shoots and it shoots but the bottom limb bends alot more than the top i dont know how to fix it so i left it alone but i know it will shoot better if i could make them bend a little more even. i will take some picks so you guys can help me out

Have you tried just flippin it over and using the bottom limb(since it's weaker) as the top?
