After probably 100+ shots, zero is starting to return.  I shoot often, but not many arrows per session.  Would rather do 25 shots with good form than alot of sloppy ones.  Noticed brace has cotinued to decrease after each session and will add a couple twists.  I think when it quits stretching, I'll be back to where I was!

Humidity plays a big role in the elongation of the material. Just like wood, selfbows, in paticular, can change alot. I see you live in North Carolina, Humid weather can affect it. Maybe some of the physical weight was moisture? When I started using F.F. in the late eighties, I noticed this with my bows, Midwest Humidty! Good shootin, Steve
