Default Back off the poundage or build back up?

Now that my physical therapy is almost complete after my shoulder surgery, I'm shooting my bow regularly again. I was slightly over-bowed at 70# before, but now I can only manage about 15 shots before I start to shake so bad that it's pointless to keep shooting. Also, even when I'm just starting, my accuracy is gone.

I've been considering backing my Drenalin down to 60#, which I believe would be a huge benefit, but I've heard some of you say on here that it would be better to order 60# limbs and max them out instead of having 70# limbs backed down to 60#.

Of course, this will mean buying new arrows, since the GT 7595's will be significantly overspined for a 60# bow.

I know that 60# @ 29" draw would still punch through anything I'm going to hunt.

What do some of you think about these two questions?

1. Shouldn't 60# vs. 70#make it easier to hold on target and improve accuracy?

2. Should I order 60# limbs or just crank the 70# limbs out?
