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?

18" riser

Good looking fades… I’d increase your taper rate first and see what that does for you before discussing the benefits of power lams. Kirk

I'm pretty sure that it's not going to explode, but I'll be trying more forward taper going forward

Power lams just extend your fades forcing the working portion out further on your limbs…. For an example… I run a 22” riser fade to fade, an .004 FT , a 30” double ended power lam that pushes the fades out another 4” on each end. On top of that I run a 6” tip wedge down from the top.
