You bet Kenny. This bow is for my wife, so I went with the target bow measurements for the mid limb posts. Except, I moved them in closer to the riser by 1 inch from the 16 for the top and 15 5/8th for the bottom of a normal setup. So on this bow the top mid limb post is set at 15 inches and the bottom mid limb post is set at 14 5/8th from the center of the handle. The limb tip posts I increased by 1/2 inch on this bow, from 6 to 6 1/2. She came out of the clamps with 3 1/4 reflex at the tips.

I intend to take the limb tips down to 1/2 wide and my draw weight target is 30 to 35 pounds. The wife was is a wreck years ago and has a problem with her shoulder on her drawing arm, so she can't handle much more than 35 pounds without causing her pain..
