need help lowering weight of 80-90lb bow.

<< < (2/2)

Ian.:
It would be good to track down a local bow maker, it should be too much to take a little weight off. If you want to do it yourself you will need to rig up a tillering set up then give us some pictures of the bow bending facing directly to the camera. Its not difficult to take weight off but as others have said, it depends on how much weight you need off.

Thank you all...Back from work... :P... 65 lb is target and I realize string follow would also be greater too. thank you all once again.

 found the time to finally tiller this bad boy down a notch. Rudder bows was very nice and quick when I emailed them and asked them how to lower my draw weight. thank you Rudder bows! I made 100 passes from ntn with a cabinet scraper then sanded with 4 different grades of sand paper then steel wool. shadow checked my tiller touched up again rechecked tiller. not sure of wait now. but it feels like 65-70 if it is possible to have a built in bow scale in your arm. lol.. here are some pictures.
