i've dropped poundage by changing limbs that were purchased from the AT classifieds myself. I found that though i could pull 70, i manage 58 alot better. Especially when having to wait for an animal to cooperate or when it's really cold.

its possible to switch limbs. its done quite a bit with Hoyts. buying new ones are expensive, but you could turn around and sell your limbs. You could sell your rig and buy one with lighter limbs.

My next Bow will be 60lb limbs..I am shooting 62 lbs now..

I will probably have to order them, mine are M O Brush. I work at a boat shop, so the price won't be a problem. I see guys do that all the time, seems to be a trend, to go with see 60 lbs. versus 70# especially with guys that are 45 and older.

My biggest problem will be, I just purchased Carbon Express 250's with the total arrow weight it is 348 gr. Right now I at 280 fps. But dropping down to the 60 limbs and setting them at 55# or 58# it would take me down to
250 fps, that's OK it's still fast. Speeds not everything,

I really do not understand people that want a midwest timber bow 60-70 and shoot at 62. This is most people since it seems that 60-70 is 80% of the market. I also fell into this since I could not find a lower lbs bow for sale and I will likely be swaping out my limbs for a 50-60.

Put the 60lbs. limbs and get the Barnsdale limbs to replace those Bowtech ones beings you are buy ones any way have not worry about it going boom. Price should be the same for new ones anyways.

That was the case Rich,

This was one really nice looking 2007 Tribute, but the only problem was it was a 70#, but it was a brand new one. So I purchased. I was out shooting it today quiet hand very accurate, I was doing two a half-inch groups, at 40 yd.

Some ding a ling was out shooting broadheads, and stuck in the target, and just unscrewed them. And you don't know it, until you pull your carbon express, and you see it sliced.

But my Tribute is dead on at 20 30 40, and it's getting cold out, and freezers get low !

I'll order the limbs, but I will put them on after the first one is down, maybe !
