RE: Do I need to adjust my tiller?
Quite frankly, I don't trust any manufacturer to get limbs matched close enough to just bottom out the limb bolts and then back 'em off and trust that tiller will be right. Always measure it.
Also, what you're talking about is static tiller, and you want to get it set even for a starting point.
What's important though, is dynamic tiller...how those limbs bend during the draw and aiming cycles. If you sight on a target before drawing, then see the pin move up or down off the aim point when you draw, your dynamic tiller needs to be adjusted. If the pin pulls up, take a little off the top bolt and/or add a little to the bottom. If it pulls down, do the opposite. Keep adjusting until the pin stays level during the draw. (If you can't draw straight back while holding the pin on target, that's a good indication you're overbowed.)
It makes for easier tuning, easier aiming and better accuracy when the limbs are balanced instead of fighting each other under the tension of being drawn.
