Re: Different way of Tillering
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.
