I shoot a 58lb at 58" recurve, I would like to reduce the 58lbs to 55lbs or so. Any way to shave a few pounds off. Increasing the brace heighth? What about a different kind of bow string, I shoot fast flight and a more traditional string that stetches, not sure of the string material. As I get older my fingers hurt with long practice sessions. I know practice less but I cannot help it, shooting the bow is just plain ole fun!

Ferg, If you can find a bowyer in your area he should be able to take 2-3 Lbs off of your recurve by shaving the limbs. A longbow can have more weight removed than a recurve. I had to have this done to my recurve and Bob Sarrels of Sarrels a=Archery in Austin did it for me.

My bow is a Bob Lee, and I know Bob and Rob well. When they made my bow they sent if off and had some sort of throw down camo put on it, I sure like it but they do not offer that service any longer, so shaving the limbs is not an option unless I want to redo the camo on the limbs.Comment

Ferg,replacing the string or changing brace height will not lower poundage.The only option you have is to either get new limbs,or a new bow.Comment

Freg, If you can make it through this season with what you've got, I know a bowyer in Indiana that has done this operation countless times. He owes me a favor. If you are still interested at the end of the season, drop me an e-mail or call me on 434-927-5155 and I'll set things up for you. TomComment
