Should the limbs be spaced evenly?

Default Should the limbs be spaced evenly?

I had my bow inspected (I do it every once in awhile to be safe) and the guy took out a bow square. My top limb was 1/8 inch further from the string than the bottom limb. He fixed that. I got home and did some shooting. I couldn't shoot at all. I couldn't stand it. I adjusted it to where the limbs popped out of the cup evenly. I like it that way. Is there a benefit to having the limbs space from the string evenly, or could I do it how I like it?

Zak; I believe your asking what your tiller should be? Most bows today are shot with even tiller. What type of bow are you shooting. Most single cams require you to run a string or straight edge from a to a. Then measure where the limb comes out of the pocket.
