Ok guys, here is the situation. Having a tight release, I filed down the top of the sear to eliminate the distance between the sear and the notch in the roller nut for the amount of rise on the lever. Worked ok, but still had drag on release. Filed a little more, went to test shoot and it misfired. String hopped over the bolt.
I noticed by eliminating the drag the release was a lot faster. That is good,right? So maybe I unmasked another problem is what I'm thinking. Could there be a problem in the angle of the prod, or do I need an angle at all? Is there not enough downward pressure on the tiller, in which causing the sting to hop over? Point me in the right direction.

PS; I have an Alchem 140# prod which has a 1/2" tip rise. Tiller cut to approx.6 degree angle
