It sounds like what you are suggesting is within this so you should be ok, but its worth checking.

Thanks for that Graham I wasn't aware of that one. It would be within this anyway I would only move the pressure point back enough to just clear the shelf/shoulder of the bow which from memory is about 2cm back from the pivot point.
