My diagnosis was a shift drum out of alignment. Would that have been caused by Charlies clutch because it was on my bike at the time. I hope not, as I have Charley II in there now! I just cranked over 40,000 miles on the bike and it is running very well.

'hand fitted' just means that Charlie lightly files the inside corners of the tab so they slip easily into the tight-tolerance baskets he makes. If you can't get hold of a 'hand-fitted' set in the future, you can just buy a stock Barnett set and spend 10 mins filing them yourself (if you even have to!). :-)
