Dana, thanks. There are advantages to leaving those tips  stiff in that stacking is really negligible. The disadvantage is that on short bows more of the limb needs to bend to increase longevity and decrease set. Guess I should have asked how much set you started with. You got a nice shooter there. Not sure I'd touch it. Just things to remember for the next one. Jawge

Thanks Jawge, no stacking whatsoever of course I'm only drawing 25", I lightened the tips and the hand shock is gone,
took a few scrapes out of the stiff area. I'm impressded with how well it shoots :)
