Fast and safe way to achieve desired poundage on a bow in production

[Jim Davis]

We'd  need to know the length and current width of the limbs before truly reaching a solution. At least one not involving light weight training.

No, we don't need to know current length or width. For ANY length and width, narrowing the working limbs by any fraction reduces the draw weight by the same fraction.

True but lateral stability could be at stake for narrow bows.

In the end I did with a very sharp knife.

I kept the bow strung while shaving so that I could check the tiller as I went.

I opted out of the width reduction because I wanted to keep the limb as flat as possible. Being this bow only 130 cm it would have been quite safe to do anyway.

It turned out well, thanks for the advice.

 Still need to know in order to determine if the bow is underbuilt or overbuilt.   If he said the bow was less than an inch wide already and 56 inches long, would you narrow it?
