I'd work on it a bit before  resorting to shortening the curves.  Are you using a timber hitch by any chance?

yes I think you almost got it,, just fine tune the curves,,
leave it strung quite a bit, if will help hold it straight,, it wont hurt it to leave braced for hours at a time,,
great performance,, congrats on a great bow,,  (-S

How deep are your string grooves? I'm sure you've considered this, but I've had trouble with the string slipping and once or twice simply deepening the grooves did the trick.

Actually I had just redone the string nocks just before it came off this last time. I just redid them for pretty a few minutes ago and the were kind of slipshod. They're better now. I am finding that I can heat the limbs enough to get them to stay in the new spot. Just enough heat to move it and then aim a fan at it. Now I get to shoot it for a while.
