Back in the early 80's I tried a method of balancing the bow as talked about in a magazine at the time. Could have been the Archery International mag that was available for a few years. I had thought of trying it again sometime. I seem to remember that the bows movement felt great after the shot. I cannot remember exactly where they said the point of balance should be but I think it was within 2 inches of the pressure point at the throat of the handle. I may even have set it up as the button. Anyway what i used to do was place some cardboard over the grip so I could draw lines on it having marked where the throat of the handle was behind the card. Then I would hang the bow from a rafter in the garage by each limb in turn and the end of the longrod and using a plumb line draw the lines on the card. By altering the weights and angle of the twins on the v-bar you can move the intersection closer to your desired centre of gravity. When hanging from the end of the top limb more weight on the long rod would push the plumb line further forward for example. Any old timers remember reading about this before ??
