I think you should try it and record your findings and let us know. Theoretical talk is great and all but nothing can beat hard evidence.

When you're dern near 70 years old and have a lot of stuff left to do you start to leave some things to someone who has more time left ;) It's just something to think about when I resting my back from tillering :D

Many things going on at once, and tough to experiment by only changing one parameter at a time.

I am curious if anyone thinks it is even possible to even build a bow with no set, that shoots 180 fps?  (@10 GPP, I assume?)

The nature of would wouldn't allow a wood bow to be built without set.
