I usually I make mine at 1/4 or 1/8.  Im not sure about 1/2. Would really like to see an experienced bowyer come in here and let us know. I would be interested as well.

My guess if it shoots good who cares! But what do I know? lol
Man did you see how fast that arrow flew past the target?

I just bought savanna stealth and read on another form Larry Hatfield a the one who built the Savannah and he also said that after the sale of martin some months ago that no more. Bowyers other than chuck Jones are working in the howatt factory .so it makes me wonder if I'm getting a bad product since all the bowyers are gone think I'm going to email martin

I posted before and thought it was 1/4" but now realized you said 1/2". Probably still won't make much difference but that is high.
