I shot heavy draw recurves when I was young and stupid. Getting older with surgeries to my neck and bow arm elbow forced me to drop draw weight in the last few years. I recently took 44# limbs off of my Bob Lee and put on 40# limbs. Why? I can shoot better with that setup than any I have ever had. Busting nocks and it really feels good.
Dropping in weight was the best thing I ever did. I shoot better now than in the last 43 years.
