the osage bow I am working on right now has over an inch of set. I usually heat treat the limbs into reflex right after getting it to first brace but didn't on this one. I am giving it to my boss and every bow I make for someone else I leave a little string follow. It makes it easier to string and I feel it makes a more stable bow in the hands of a newbie. The bow is 55# @ 28" and shoots a 500 grain arrow 168.5 fps according to my chrony. Plenty of power to hunt with I think. Like others have said don't sweat the set, LOL.
