I have two takedown recurve bows. Both are 45 pound limbs that I pull to 48 pounds at my draw length. Both bows are 62 inch AMO. With the same FF string, using the same arrows, my galaxy sage elite with a limb bolt and pin style attachment system shoots faster than my SW Archery spyder, that has the quick detach thumb screw limb bolts. I think the design of how the limbs attach to the riser is the difference between my bows. That being said. it isn't enough to really matter at traditional hunting/ shooting distances. I would worry about it. I have several bows and enjoy them all for different reasons.
