Well now idk what to do.

Arrows seem to be flying well for the most part. Paper tune is good.

The brace height to get that is 8.5", and Brian recommends 7.25-7.5

I shoot a Hoyt super rest (bad release & that helps)...

How do I build out the strike plate & then attach the rest to it?

Looking to get my 8 year old a new bow. He has the Bear Goblin. Looking at getting a long bow but not sure what poundage. He is pulling about 16-18# at 20" and growing like a weed. Would a 25 or 30# at 28" be too much for him? I know how bows stack past 28" (31" draw length here) but is it the same for shorter draws? What would you recommend as far as poundage and possibly even brands or bowyers?

Best,

Zac

I have a shoulder mount and also have a few rugs and the skulls from them all.

What I have personally came to prefer is just having the hide soft tanned so that I can drape it over the back of chair, couch, or hang it in a corner off of a hanger so that it hangs from nose up near celing and on down to floor. can also lay them across foot of bed or across flat section of handrail on stairs etc.

Many more ways to display a nice hide in aesthetic ways when is only soft tanned and not rugged.  A good bear, when rugged, takes up a huge area on the wall, they chew up real estate quickly.

I still euro all of my skulls and really enjoy those also.

A rugged hide looks real nice on a wall though too!! 

Not my pic but this gives you an idea of how the soft tanned hides can look displayed.
 

Turns out my string was way out of wack, brace height was clear down to just over 6 inches.

Not sure how that happened, but got the bh back up to 8 or a little over.

Going to play around some more, but now there's just a slight 1" or less right tear. Plenty good enough for my shooting ability 

You might try 3M double sided mounting tape. It mostly comes in at around 1mm thick. It would give you the ability to try different thickness combinations. 

A little late but Congrats on a nice Ohio doe with Trad

A little late, but Congrats

I was shooting fletched shafts, I don't put a ton of stock into bareshaft tuning my stickbows honestly, I'm not near consistent enough to be able to justify it.

I also tried a 500 spine, with my 200 grain points I had a wicked left paper tear, talking like 7-8" at only 6 feet or so.

I put a 300 gr point up front & that gave me a significantly better tear, at that point I'd be pushing 700 grains which is just too heavy & unnecessary.

So many potential variables. Bare-shaft or fletched? Could be that your a grunt too stiff. Maybe in your release? If you build the plate out, I have used thin leather and Barge contact. I am sure others will have some useful tips and information. Blessings.
