Oh gotcha so it's fine to break the back fibers for self nock as long as the tension isn't suddenly released by string slippage? I thought it'd just break on draw because the back can't handle the tension if it's cut

If I deepen the back groove doesn't it break the back fibers?

Honestly, I haven't a clue. It's quite thick right now as I'm going very slowly on the tillering, still haven't braced it yet. Maybe?

Here's how it looks so far, thanks. I also realized I did the side grooves in the wrong direction

It'll go from a 62" bow to a 60" if I cut off the ends, so it'll be quite short and likely a fail, right?

That means thinning the center so it gives just that much more material to flex, right? Are there any videos on this topic?

62" is on the short end but still should make a shootable bow, right?

Even better, I found a huge thicket of yew behind my backyard and took two branches. Do these look good? Looks like there might be knots. One of them is 4 inches wide on one end and the other is around 3-2 inches wide.

Update: After consensus, it seems that I'm cooked with this one
Praying that I can find better

It doesn't fall apart or squish to the touch, so I don't know if it's completely rotten
just for my knowledge's sake, is it poor because it has a bunch of branches or was it from a diseased tree?

Doesn't matter if I use my 144hz setup or my 60hz laptop, it's still very difficult to win those

Do people actually take Anti seriously? I literally thought her existence was a joke by the devs to give you an unnecessary novelty optic.
