I am refinishing a Hoyt Pro Olympian and just hate the braced profile look when braced at 7.5 inches.
It is a 70" long recurve with about an inch positive tiller. Everything lines up fine and there's nothing wrong with the bow.
Would such a difference in positive tiller be normal for this bow?

I think the full draw profile is perfectly symmetrical (please correct me if I'm wrong) and that has me stumped, because the bow "works". here's drawn to 29". Is so much positive tiler needed to achieve a proper full draw?

That's the difference between static tiller and dynamic tiller. The final proof is in how it reacts at the shot.

So, here's the question then: should I shave a little off the sides of the bottom limb to make them evenly tillered? The bow shoots well although I have no way to tell if the limbs are on time when loosed

Nope..not if shoots well. If shoots good, stays still in your hand and doesn't have excess string noise O-ring vibration the limbs are "in time". If they weren't none of those things would be true.

Measure the end to end length when strung. Divide by 2 then see where the center of the bow is. The shelf? Throat of grip? If it's the shelf then that makes the top limb longer as you grip below center. Newer bows the center of the bow is the throat, about 1" below the shelf.

I took a few box cutter blades to the sides of the bottom limb around where material had to be removed and just went at it keeping the number of passes even between each side and the blades perpendicular to the surface. Here's the result, I couldn't stand the difference and doing this changed nothing to the bow's characteristics.
I now need to sand a bit to remove some marks and that's it. I'm happy with having jumped in and maybe I got lucky LOL.

I believe the top limb is longer & the full draw picture shows it to be way positive also. P.M. sent. >>>----> Ken
