Yep, but 1/2 my bows are tillered for split, and I shoot 3 under. Just means a tad more noise and slightly higher nock point.
but the good news is, it not out of wack. Whats your Brace Hieght? Remember lowering your Brace even 1" can lower your bow poundage by up to 2lbs.

That's where I thought Mark. Thanks!!
Here's the measurements.
Top- 6 9/16
Bottom- 6 1/4
This Is telling me my bow Is tillered for split then.

I have had alot of recurves that said they should be between 7.5-9". I would say its a tad short. And that would rob you of your wieght. But not 10lbs.
You didn't tell me your bow was painted and you no way to see the fadeouts, Schulzy. [&:]

RE: Loosing pounds In a bow
Not good!!! After getting back from hunting this morning I took my bow out of the case and checked It out like I always do before I hang It up on It's hook. On the top limb I see slivers of lamination starting to separate from the limb on the very outside edge. How long Is she going to last??? I pulled It back and didn't hear any noises but man I'm getting nervous now!! I was hoping It would make it through the year.[:@][:@][:@]

Hmm, if it was me, I would hunt with it. But most will warn not too. If its not affecting arrow flight, I would anyway. Just way too deep in the season to work on a new bow. The worst that can happen is it breaks. And I have had a selfbow break. I don't think your bow would fly into pieces since its laminated. The selfbow I broke just exploded.
