I mean it is obvious that I know something about shooting a bow, and about bow hunting, and maybe a little about gear, but it is also obvious that I am by no means tech savy about bow gear. One of these days I will get the time and money to buy the things I need and want, and start reading and learning so I can do some of the things I ask about. These days I just ask so I can understand the process.
And when that time finally comes, be sure to pass that knowledge on to the guy who is filling your old shoes.
Glad you dumped the half outs but if you had kept with them; no, you wouldn't cut the shaft any differently than normal.
