Brock, I glued it up with about a 3/4" of an inch of net reflex past the grip section which was an inch in front of the mid limbs as I clamped it up. So the tips sat about 1 3/4" in front of the mid-limb when clamped up. I lost about an inch from where it came out of the form which I think is pretty good considering the belly was from a bow that had been shot hundreds of times so I was anticipating a bit more set from it, but probably being 70" helped as well.

Thanks for the comments guys, and I think this style will work well on the shorter modern style hunting bows that I see you all making here.  The color and how quiet this bow shoots will make it very appealing to getting glass bow shooters to take the next step..
