Anyone else?

Well, it looks like it is poorly tillered. The lower limb appears to bend more about 6" out from the riser. Normal is for the upper limb to bend a trifle more than the lower.

Those huge puff balls look weird. A well tuned longbow, even a 3 piece one, should be quiet enough to need none at all unless the arrows are too light for the draw weight.

Those should be easy fixes and then it might be a shooter. - lbg

Double B is made by Mike Brattain formerly from New Mexico. Now retired living in Florida I believe. Made very nice bows for several years. Great shooters and fine craftsmanship. If the bow looks that much out of tiller I'm sure it's just the angle of the picture. Mike is a very knowledgeable bowyer and his bows can compete with the best of them.

Definitely camera angle on the limbs. The string came with puff balls, and I like puff balls. Bow shoots great. Thanks for all the input!
