I was just curious about tiller of a bow,would the tiller characteristics of bow have to be different because of bow length or bow design.The reason I ask is that I have two bows made by the the same bowyer,one bow is 52" the other is 56",both where to be tillered for three under release when made.The 52" bow has about 1/16" of difference measured where the limbs meet the riser,the 56" bow has 5/16" difference.

Re: Bow tiller variables
Hi Matt,
How do the bows shoot?
Are they selfbows or laminated longbows or recurves?
Are the limbs equal or unequal in length?
If the bows shoot well ie; no hand shock and they hit where you aim I would not be too concerned.

Hi Daryl They are both laminated recurves,there is no handshock and they both shoot great.The limbs are the same lengths.
Thanks

Hi Daryl
I just measured both of my bows and the limbs are equal lengths.The difference is in the risers with about 80mm from the shelf to start of the top limb and 120mm from the shelf to the start of the bottom limb,so a difference of 40mm and the bows are takedowns.
thanks
