Whom best in US could reduce pull weight on a Don Adams ELB?
bownarra:
Reduce the width and not the thickness. Reducing thickness will reduce efficiency. Reducing width alone will keep the bow at the same efficiency.
If they don't know this don't use them :)
Hamish:
A real shame to tinker with a Don Adams original. They are collectible items now. I'd invest in another good yew bow, with a lower draw weight. Plenty of good bowyers around, with reasonably priced yew bows.

I strongly disagree... IMO you won't drop 10# off a 63# by reducing width of an ELB and still retain any lateral stability.

That would work on a flat bow, but the ELB is a different critter.

I agree with Dell you would have to retailer the bow
