It's hard to tiller, I haven't tillered a real bow yet so i dont know what im doing really. is negative tiller when one limb bends more than the other?

I need to get some negative tiller going.

Hey guys over the last couple of months i've been trying whittling. I started trying to make circles and rabbit shapes but thought id have a go at a bow tonight. I only use a small razor and 280grit sandpaper. Cheers.

Wow, Really impressive work. I love how you have the cresting going through the feathers. I need to learn this stuff!

I had the same problem when i first got my target bow. the bruise got really nasty! Was about 3x worse than the bruise in this pic. My forearm hated me for a while.

I had the same issue when starting with my new bow, I did what Curvemeister suggested and it fixed the prob instantly.

Nice mate, I snug my index finger into the corner of my mouth too. Darryl reek showed me the technique and i haven't changed since.

Cheers Perry, Looking forward to saturday mate.
