Ryano:
Doe.... :(   maybe try a little heat treating? Ive raised the poundage as much as 5 pounds by heat treating the limbs and adding a little reflex.

Gordon:
Ryan I don't think I want to do that as the skins were put on with hide glue. And a beautiful skin job it is - I'd hate to ruin it...

Ryano:
Oh ya, I didnt even think of that. I guess my thought is to pike it to 62" and retiller. To bad he used hide glue, Ive heated bows into a light reflex that where skined with titebond. How you going to know though.... :P

Gordon:
I've not piked a bow before - how much poundage do you think would be gained by removing 3"?

Dano:
3# per inch would be a modest guess Gordon.
