Consistency with an ELB?

You don't even need the mark at the arrow pass if you hold the bow consistent. With my arm down at my side, I balance the bow in the bow hand on my middle finger with the top tip slightly above the horizontal.  I have a pinhead sized pebble epoxied to the handle that registers to the balance point on my middle fingertip

Strelets:
I hold my arm out with palm down, thumb opposed to the palm, balance the bow on my thumb and then close my hand.

Thats the great thing about a ELB. You can grab it and make it shoot how you want it to for the range your shooting by adjusting hand!

I know where to hold for 80m and for 15m. They will drop an arra on a dime. Just have to see what makes each one really shine.

When I'm building bows I shoot them all before finishing, before indicating an arrow pass and before indicating a nock point. I go by balance in my bow hand, balance as I draw and an approximate nock point I've worked out over years of shooting and I shoot pretty well in this situation, maybe not competition well but well enough to hit pretty close to where I'm aiming and see how well the bow shoots.

HH~:
Thats correct. Long before you finish arra pass or a shelf the bow must feel correct in hand even if tiller is done. If using non matching billets you had better get bow in hand and figure out what it needs to balance at full draw.
