Hi Rob,

Just had a quick read of the article and it appears to be more complicated than the method most bowyers appear to use.

The author mentions circular tiller so I don't know how it would go with elliptical tiller.

As far as the limb profile of the braced bow is concerned this method would probably give a greater false reading than the long tiller string.

Daryl.

I will re read the article a few times to see if I can find any benefit using this method.
"And you must not stick for a groat or twelvepence more than another man would give, if it be a good bow.
For a good bow twice paid for, is better than an ill bow once broken.

I am old enough to make my own decisions....Just not young enough to remember what I decided!....
