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.  :)
