Cold shot group @ 25yds from yesterday
Woodie shot group @ 25yds   https://imgur.com/gallery/QvpQH  
Shot high but that's pretty good for me

Forgot to mention bow setup:
Bear takedown A riser,  #1 limbs
47lbs@ 28 (i draw 29.5")
12 strand bcy-x string

I'm liking theses arrows! Been playing around,  trying to get gaps all fingered out (i call my style instinctive gap, maybe really split vision,  i focus probably 90% on target and 10% on arrow tip @ full draw). Shooting 3 under with my index finger on canine tooth as anchor, deep hook,  I'm coming up with 40yds as my point on distance.

Wow, you're shooting 85/90# out of a bow that is what, maybe 52# at your draw length? Never ceases to amaze me how different peoples setups are.

Couldn't justify another order to 3 rivers,  so i made my own redneck engineered roller straightener.

Works absolutely awesome. No scratching or scarring of poly. Better yet,  no flat spots! I tried a round shaft screwdriver first,  but if anyone recalls high school geometry, your only putting pressure on 1 finite point,  the point of tangency. The roller spreads the load over a larger area,  preventing flat spots.

This is the spine chart i used. My math came to about 70lbs adding what the chart says for a recurve with a high performance string. I maybe a little stiff,  but they fly awesome as is. No kicking around or porpoiseing.  Groups BH's and FP's as well as i can shoot out to 50yds (furthest I've shot them.  Don't wanna lose one this soon! )
