Bob, on the finished ring the bulbs were facing forward, I put a tight sleeve with reflective chrome tape around the outside of the LEDs to straighten them up. That wasn't the problem what I found was if I went any closer than 8" the center of the frame wasn't lit up, it was in shadow.

I only had time to post 5 photo's on Thursday, I didn't realize I hadn't posted the finished ring. Now that my Archery outdoor season has finished I am going to see whether I can get a better angle maybe pointing inwards slightly to make a snoot shape with two rows of lights..
