I unbraced before I saw this post. I compared it with the original tracing and it's taken an inch of set. It's real set because I can see it coming back. Reflex was 3" when I unbraced it and 3 1/4" within a couple of minutes. We'll see in the morning. It's the chrono that's going to tell the tale anyway.

One inch isnt terrible. No set tillering should have thrown warnings signs in advance but oh well. Id be interested to see a before and after pic of the outline, traced on top of eachother.
Id be willing to bet if you had stopped at 37 pounds, or had the extra width the ratio indicated, you would be looking at a lit less set. Where is the set at?

That's starting to look like a bow! I can't wait to to see the numbers on that one.

I can't tell. The whole working limb looks like it's just bent a little more than before.

Thats what you want, set to be evenly distributed across the bow. Having gained an inch of set, id be considering not pullimg it that extra inch, or dropping weight to the calculated 37 pounds before going back any further. Too bad you cant toast your limbs. This is the point id say to do it.
It would be great if you checked its outline against its original outline now that it has rested all night. Id be good to see how much it has bent back from that inch of set. I hope not much.
Is your scale callibrated? I notice that it shows a touch over 42 pounds at 27 inches there. Is it 2 pounds off? That could explain the set, being a touch too narrow for target weight and being overdrawn on poundage. Even a little bit can make a big difference.
