Gary,

I actually have mine a little forward of the "center" mark.  I just set the toe piece a little forward and adjusted the back.  I do the Ball of foot to center of running surface.  The first couple of times it was a real PITA. 

I wasn't sure what I was doing and wasn't sure what corresponded on my boot to the place where my ball of my foot was supposed to be (on a sneeker you can just push in and feel - not so with a ski boot).  Also, if you are a little perfectionist like me, where to the millimeter is the CRS?  ??? :o.  Where do you measure on the shovel and tail?  Gotta make sure you get it right....right?

WRONG - too much hassle.  Now I pretty much guestamate that if you measure along the side and take the midway point between where the widest place on the shovel and tail is; then you are close enough.  I have a place on my boots that is also my best guess.  Now I can get that done pretty quickly.  With the railflex bindings, I just adjust up and back if needed on the sole length toe and heel pieces and that is my starting point.  Then I go up and back depending on conditions.  For me BOF-CRS is pretty sweet for a typical groomed run.  Depending on the ski, it can be 1.0 - 2.5 cm forward of the mark on the ski.
