It still shoots, it didnt take on any set or lose weight......................yet.............but we all know that the 7-8 squiggles will weaken that area shortly. I may shoot it until I feel its getting towards dangerous.

One more lesson I learned examining it last night. When I heat treated the belly it became concaved on that surface. I used an 80 grit sanding block and my scraper to smooth it all back out before I even started to bend the limbs. Guess what? That little area that is chrysaled is concave again. Somehow it came back after shooting several hundred arrows, or I missed flattening one little spot???? Just my findings that may help somebody down the road with a similar recipe.
