Looking at other pictures of properly tillered bows, mine has too much bend near the handle. And, as proof, when my new string came in yesterday, I braced it, and it broke on the second draw. It was way too short for that design anyways, and the limbs were both too thin near the handle.

Oh well. Bow # 2 is on it's way. I actually thought I'd break the first 5 or 6 before I got a good one. Thank for the input.
