RE: Bow Balancing

Enough weight on the front to stop the longrod kicking upwards on the shot, not so much you can't hold it upright.

Faff with the weights (different numbers on different sides) if you're REALLY having trouble with canting, otherwise it's just not worth it.

Otherwise, a good starting point (and only a starting point, many people disagree with it/can't get on with their setups afterwards) is Simon Needham's articles on this - it appeared in the Glade around 98/99, and Bow Magazine more recently... 2002/3?

HTH.
