Ill be taking it out tomorrow to see how it does. 6 months would be fine since deer season is over end of November, lol. I'm hoping itll hold ok for a little while. I may pillar bed it over the winter though.

As for the test, I have both screws torqued to 30 in/lb right now. Sounds like I need to back off the rear one and go up from there. Will report back with results.
