Goose I would heat it but that's just me. I may be wrong in thinking that. So take it for what it's worth.

After hearing your thoughts I may just get her shooting first too. Then temper the belly and add the reflex. Several options I suppose.

Main thing is like Walt said take it slow and get her shooting.

So I spent most of the day piddling and got the bow shooting. 46# @ 28" Here are the first 3 shots at 10 yards. Not too bad. I did have to wait for the wife to get home to get pictures of the full draw. So, because it shot an arrow it is a bow. No creaks no groans and I got er there. HOLY MOLY is now a bow that needs just a sanding and a couple more hundred shots through it to be finished!

Goose, You done good...real goood! [Not Worthy]

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.
