If it only shows up long distance could be something with the release or a tiny bit of torque,,, its got to be release or tuning and i mean the fine fine tuning.

Hmmm.  We're back to alignment, I think.  You might be looking across the arrow rather than right down/over it.  Keep your anchor the same, but try turning your head a little more toward the target, to the left for a right hand shooter.  Not talking a lot here, maybe an inch or so.

Oh...a friend has a hickory stave he offered me. I have not seen it yet but it has been drying for about 10 years. I may need to go grab it. lol.

I ordered three staves off Ebay that looked good (straight, no twist, and no significant issues with knots, good growth rings, etc)...but they are not here yet. Additionally, they have only been drying for about a year...so...Not sure what I have to work with yet.

Those are excellent rings and ratio between early and late rings. Do you have any other staves? If so I think you should make your first bow(s) from something else and save that stave for when you have more experience. Adding recurves or reflexed tips is another thing you should wait on for more experience. Once you get tillering down then you can move on to something more complicated.

You didn't ask but I've never tried aiming. Just complicates something that's supposed to be very simple

Something like this would be nice, but challenging for a first bow. lol. Why not?

I thought about cutting the stave to make a two piece takedown in hopes of cutting the crack out, but there wasn't enough limb...but I never thought about flipping the ends around. That may be a solution. If I try that...man, I am going to be trying a difficult project for my first selfbow. LOL. Rings are pretty tight too. Photos of the growth rings...

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