This is the solution to the small core wire breaking problem from my earlier
post.
Thanks to all who replied.
Several people suggested a different wire.
Several people suggested a different bow.
Several suggested too much weight on top of the core.
One person suggested to use the single point cut method (cut around a
ivot) - The 1 was Roger from Tekoa
I tried his method first (I already had everything I needed). It worked
great. Easier to set up than the 2 point pull as well. Roger did say that
the T-370 (his wire) may not provide enough resistance at the short wire
lenght I was using (I had the power clips about 10" apart while using the
28" bow). Roger did not indicate if other wire (fishing leader being the
most common suggestion) would work at that length.
After using the pivot and single point I will never cut a large taper ratio
any other way. It was way to easy, and eliminated all of the set up issues
I have had in the past.
