The rest are video clips of elephant, buffalo and stiff.  Probably to cumbersome to post.

The knot at the center is troublesome the knot at the tip isn't. If you have a clean back growth ring around the knot just keep it in the center of the limbs and you will be fine. I'd have to see more of the crack near the center to make a call to that. At 73" long another option would be to cut the stave in half, reverse the billets so the ends are now the center and splice the billets at the handle.
 That stave definitely has possibilities. How thick are the growth rings and how is the ratio between the late and early growth rings?

I think I need to go to church and confess. Im feeling dirty!

There were two spots...on in the center, the other at the tip. Both are shown in the video.

I'm definitely right eye dominant.

It seems the problem only shows up at longer distance. It could possibly be a slight overspine. However I didn't think a 2018 with 200 up front would be too stiff from a 50# recurve. 29.5" shafts.

I typically anchor middle finger in corner of mouth. I definitely have to aim slightly to the right when I get back to 30 yards or so. They impact right where I want if I aim slightly right just feels odd not being able to put the point right where I need like a sight pin.

Kirk, I understand what you're saying and this is what I'm going to try to do for longer shots.

Pat ,
that sure is adventure , regardless of game on the ground. Its a very cool story indeed ..... election riots and a buff hunt - reads like a Wilbur Smith novel . Thanks for sharing it eh
