Try sliding your quiver closer to the riser,it looks like its into the working part of the limbs.Nice shooting!

Good lookin bow, and you're shooting nice groups.

Only thing I see wrong is the bow is built backards  :biglaugh:  

IdahoCurt gives good advice....slide the quiver down to the fadeouts and you should be good to go.

Frank Hellman made your bow.  He is out of Deer River, MN, small town in the northern part of the state.  I visited his shop several years ago, he makes a nice bow.  He uses mostly MN hardwoods.  Your riser is Ash (lighter colored wood) and the darker wood looks like walnut.  Limbs look like red elm.  Have fun with it.  Chad
