Thanks for all the help. I think we have chased a rabbit some. My main question was how a 10 year old bow set at 65 lbs. compares to a new bow set at 70 lbs. When I got this bow, I was 30 and shot a lot. Now at 40 I don't get to shoot that much. I do appreciate everyones opinion on this subject. Off topic a little. A friend of mine used to shoot an 80 lbs bow with fingers. Of course he was 6'8" tall and weighed over 300 lbs. How many people have you heard of that could shoot over 80 lbs and how much did they shoot? Just thought it would be interesting to hear of the strong guys out there.
