RE: Ethical question....
up to 45lbs i dont think anything should be shot one step past 20yrds and use verysharp heads with a heavier weighted arrow. shoot alot thats the best way to get in shape for more weight. with my wife we turn her bow down to about 43lbs and then every week go up a pound for the first two weeks then she normally can take the extra few pounds every couple days and within a month she back at 48# and drawing smoothly.
