        I have an old Bear Super Mag. 48 and it is marked 55# but draws 47#. Is there a way to increase the draw weight on this bow to 60-65#? I love this bow and want it for hunting not as acollector. I also have a Kmag can it be shortened to 48″?

          The short answer is yes. The long answer is no.

          The amount of work required to increase draw weight in a bow like your Super Mag is not balanced by the results. And the results would be ugly. By ugly I mean it would look ugly and would not perform well.

          Ditto on the Kmag. I am not familiar with that bow, but when you shorten the limbs of any bow, the bow gets stiffer. Again, a lot of work for results that will probably be ugly.

          If you want a short high poundage bow, best thing to do is go find one.
