RE: Patriot VFT Question
Mark:
If you think for one minute that I'm going to install lasers on the ends of your limbs while you're trying to hold at full draw, think again. As you know, I have a Hooter Shooter but don't use it for this purpose. I have a custom machine to do this job. It's basically a vertical 'crank board' on wheels that I move around the shop to do laser and DL checks.

Len, you aren't inplying that I can't hold steady enough/long enough for you to get proper readings are you? 
The real reason for asking about a Hooter shooter or similar piece of equipment is to illustrate that the "home" technician may need more specialized tools and would probably be better off visiting their PRO shop to get some help.
A tool like a hooter shooter starts at like $1200, which is much more that getting PROfessional help and having it done right the first time...

The "datum relativity" is questioning whether or not that surface where the sight is mounted is machined to a datum, and whether or not the addition of limbs and strings under tension are twist the riser in the sight area causing that area to no longer be relative to the datum point.
