My Daddy always told me "You can make it fool proof but you can't make it damn fool proof and only a damn fool would be monkeying with what's working good". Seems it's taken me 67 yrs. and I still quite often ignore his wisdom!

Ken, nothing stupid about trying to improve your setup. The smart thing is the education you got, and being able to figure what went wrong and fix it.
You can save yourself a lot of aggravation by being able to quickly diagnose a problem. I know nothing sticks with me better than a self taught solution.

1/2" absolutely. A 1/16" makes a difference in flight on some of my setups they are so close to the line in spine. I check BH often.

When that happens to me I just figure I shot all the good shots out of it and it's time for a new/another bow.

I still think the best way to learn something, I mean really learn it, is the hard way. If you screw up enough the pain will help you understand.

I crest wrap my arrows so that I can tell brace height at a glance.
But all that said...
I got a new bow last week and saturday and sunday finally got some time with it. Yesterday after noon after about the gazillioneth arrow, I started missing the entire block and the last thing that occurred to me was the most obvious... I'm so tired my muscles are jelly.
THAT is when I usually start messing with things and getting into trouble.

Ken -
Don't feel too bad. Usually when I do something stupid, I start leaking red body fluid all over everything. The first time I did this, my dad told me, "Danny, if you're gonna be stupid, ya' gotta be tough."
Guess I just got tough, 'cause I still do stupid things.
