i have a brand spanking ne BORDER BLACK DOUGLAS ULTRA DX with Hex6bb2 limbs
i went out today first time i had a chance to try to tune her and i measured the tiller and the tiller was dead even on both limbs

Howdy mate, I have noticed if your nock is set for proper arrow flight, no matter what the tiller you should see no difference between split or 3 under only the point of impact.

Hi Beast, if the the arrow is porpoising or you are getting shelf contact and it can't be tuned out with nocking point adjustment then yes it will need a shim under the top limb pad or sending back for adjustment. Send them an email to see if they have record of how it was tillered and their advice for remedy. Steve
