Thanks everyone ;D ;D ;D!

As far as strength goes, I know my limits, and am usually too lazy to push them anyhow :D. I was shooting almost 90# for a little while, but I've lost interest really heavy bows when it was clear I wasn't putting in the work required to keep up with them. I'm slowly lowering the weights on my bows as they get better. I'm working on a few that are around 65# that shoot almost as well as this one, but are easier to aim. I've no interest in cutting my archery career short ;). For the forseeable (sp?) future, 65-70# seems to be about right and I'm really happy with the balance here. I'm sure by the time those weights start to get to be too much to shoot accurately I'll know enough to build better bows so I won't need to ;)

I am what I am, and just try to do what makes me happy :)
