I realize that is a tiller string, but to me, the untrained eye, it looks way too stiff mid limb down. Like any time now, its going to break at the fades. Maybe thats where I mess up. I soften up the mid limbs more during that stage.
R-D tiller looks crazy. Much different than Dtillering. It takes a little more practice then D tillering. Some of the biggest mistakes ive made, tillering an R-D bow, was to lossen up the midlimb too much. If I soften the midlimbs, ill have to go back later and tiller the rest of the limb to it and lose a lot of weight. The fades look real soft because it has a deflexed grip. Im getting the right amount of bend at the fades. This is actually looking real good. Once I start tillering with a short string, it will look much different. Long strings on a R-D bow will fool you.
