I have no idea as to what to set this to. Thanks for all the advice in advance.
All the down angle on the twin bars does is fine-tune the distance relationship between longrod weight(s), balance point of bow and the twinrods weight(s).

Do you need to change the angle? Do you need an extender? Only you, or an experienced archer watching you shoot can tell you that. It's how the bow reacts when YOU shoot it that counts - it will probably react differently to someone else shooting it because their form and technique will differ from yours.

Unless the bow is giving you grief, set the thing to a shallow angle - say 30 degrees below horizontal, make sure both sides look the same - and forget it. Concentrating on form will give much better results than playing around with these things unless you are already shooting 1300 FITA!
