'Blind? wha...?' No, no, 'tiller slippage' is not meant to refer to 'self help' nor to dating checkout supervisors Kato.....or anything like that...honest!..but is referring to shot vibrations loosening a tiller bolt- slowly over time..(cos I hadn't locked it properly I guess.)

To answer the question - yes Im now pulling more draw weight with the XQ1's (double-checked by Easton scales) for the arrows to fall shorter for a given sightmark..finger placement is the same and I'm not 'hunching the shoulder' under the small extra drawweight. Previously my arrows bareshafted a tad stiff. Now I can get them spot on. Both limb sets are 68 inch- I forsook ever trying 66 inch limbs as yet, as I used to suffer from pinching the arrow nock. I dont do that now though.

Thanks Perks- I'd really not considered that different limbs would have a different 'power curve' or drawforce curve is it called? That may be the needed answer. Yay! Yet more Limbs to play with!
Anyone got something like a pair of 40lb winnex's 66 or 68 inch going reasonably cheap- or to try?...It is Christmas

The advise to sort the elbow out is sensible too, but who really wants to give up their favourite pastime just because it hurts?...not me, the old man I am still remembers the young boy who would 'run off' any strains and pains, maybe I am no longer indestructible!

I must get this sorted quick though rather than stave it off till the outdoor season - I have bowman scores to make, and I dont want to be fiddling with new equipment and tuning then. Personally I'm not fond of shooting indoors- to me the indoor season is just 'preparation time' for the serious shooting outside. Cheers all.
