Default Tuning question (new bow break in)

I have a quick question.... Does a brand new bow require a certain "break in" period? You know, like how a new car has a certain break in mileage period?

My brand new Reflex Highlander is all setup and shoots great. Very fast, smooth, quiet, and almost zero hand shock.

(See the photo below...)
2006 Reflex Highlander, lefty model.
67# draw weight, 29" draw length, 75% letoff
Beman ICS Hunter 340 arrow is resting on a Quiktune 1000 lefty rest.
{Disregard the crappy old Tru-Glo lefty sights in the photo. I threw them on just so I could shoot the bow and get it tuned up, broken in, practice, etc...}

Anyway, I have just started noticing a very very slight cock vane contact/rub mark on the Quiktune 1000 rest. It is probably 1/16" or less. It doesn't seem to affect arrow flight (that I can see), but is a minor annoyance.

Second question: I read about checking the tiller and looked at mine with a ruler. From what I can determine, the top tiller is 8 1/4" but the bottom tiller is 8 1/8". Shouldn't the tiller have to matchequally?

I have probably put two dozen shots through the new bow already, if that matters any...
