Default I am old and weak

I feel that way, sometimes

I'm actually 6'1"/200#'s and in fair shape. I have to tell ya, though.....pulling my 82nd at even 62#'s is a LOT different than it was with my Allegiance at 65#'s. I have had MANY instances of the bow kind of giving me a "false release". I've got one dead arrow at the indoor range to prove it.

So.....I'm ordering 50-60# limbs, today. With speed (I'm getting 330fps out of mine at SIXTY-TWO POUNDS)......comes some cost. I'm realizing that, now.

When I shot my Allegiance.....especially target shooting....I was able to hold it for a good while. This allowed for pin float and a "comfortable" release. Now....I find myself jumping the gun to keep from holding at full draw for extended periods. I hope to do away with this problem with the new limbs.

Is this change to lower #-age limbs going to do the trick? Maybe get me back to where (at least) I was with the Ally (ease of holding-wise)? I'm seriously thinking I'll be pushing 310fps or better with the new limbs on FIFTYTWO pounds. Incredible, huh? I'm gonna need new, heavier arrows.

So....question is.......is a 10# drop in DW gonna ease this thing up a LOT for me?
