Joe Gibbs likely would (he's done 190# iirc), but he's very nice and humble.

Joe can, quite comfortably.  There's videos of him shooting 210lb, and he'll use a 190lb for a day's roving.  There's a guy in Norway who also can, and like Joe he's more than capable of making them at that weight too.

I think there's one or two guys in the States who can as well, but I'm not sure if they're shooting any more.

Now that more and more people are pushing well over the 150lb, 160lb mark it won't be long before there's a good handful of them shooting 200lb.

Sorry about that. That's even worse than when I asked you for 40 arrows or something, when I had no idea of anything..

I'm afraid that one escapes my memory.  I hope there were no bad feelings

No, not at all. It was from 8/17/15.
