Congratulations! If you have questions just ask. There are a lot of guys here that have used DAS bows for years.
You'll find a lot of useful information and history of the bows on Tradtalk.com

I got both at about 7 7/8 braceheight, does that sound ok? I downloaded the manual, it says 7-73/4" for longbow, i cant get it down that low, with the string length they call for. Any idea where these fit in the timeline of Das bows, they have the finger grooves, and the humps on the shelves? When setting bow up, i loosened the side screws,and the thumb knobs or screws, which ever they are called, used allen wrench, screw in bolts tight, then backed each one out a full turn, put thumb bolts back in , strung bow ,checked tiller, tighten set screws, done.Its odd to me that the allen head bolts stick out the other side of riser, how far can these be backed out? Thanks

Mine work well between 7 3/8" and close to 8" depending on the limbs and how noisy they are.
The limb bolts can be backed out to where the locking screws still have something to lock against. I don't push it that far most times.
Tuning allows you to adjust the preload for your own needs based on your draw length, limb length and draw weight you want to get. David Soza explained his thoughts and process for tillering in a couple of posts from years ago. This discussion can be found here -

I can't VERY WELL see the side badges, but the ones the guys call "fisheye" badges are made within the last ? time flies - 5-6 years.....say 2014ish for loose & easy guessing. black one looks like it could be this, and I'm not able to see the bronze riser badges. LATER ones like the last year or 2 they increased centershot, added another plunger area hole, to 3 (for rests & plungers& stuff) & seems like added some centering marks....and went back to type 3 hard anodizing.

No they aren’t in too far. As long as you don’t have the limbs screwed down tight you are OK. How far you back then out is based on the draw weight you want and tillering.

and draw length too, if limbs stack on you with bolts mostly down, you can back them out some and delay stacking sometimes PAST your draw length. How many turns you can back limb bolts out depends on 1) length of bolt 2)bushing bind, like ILF, when you get too far in or out, fittings & bushings can bind in the riser as angles increase too far. Typically when folks go to extremes in almost anything, not a great result. I find bolts out 3-4 turns is usually FAR enough if trying something different; my NORM is 1 or 2 turns out. On my old scurvey bronze Dalaa, being careful and analytical about it, I have ran 6 turns out and there's still plenty of limb bolt there in the riser. on THIS riser. NOT SAYING everyone should try it. In my case I had some extra-short limbs I was wanting to use, and we made it work out, eliminating stacking.

Mooshkat - Don't know if you are aware of this but at Tradtalk.com if you go to the the Tradtalk Main Forum and click on the Tradtalk Classics link at the top of the page you'll find number of threads from the past that will be very helpful. The topics vary but on many of them David Soza explains why he built the bows the way he did, the benefits of his design and how to set up a bow to suit you personally. There is a lot of good information that should help you find how to get the most from your bows.
