I have always made equal length limbs but saw a video the other day where a guy left top limb an inch longer, said it helps pre-tiller and shoot smoother.

Pre-tiller makes sense to me as the longer limb will be weaker. Worth it, probably??

Shoot smoother?? Not sure how?? Maybe evens things out with the rest being about an inch above grip??

Thoughs??? Thanks

Yup.... you'll find a few bowyers building ASL designs that do that because they heel down on those straight riser handles putting a lot more pressure on that lower limb.

I like my limbs balanced to the web of my hand and keep the limbs the same length.   Kirk
