RE: bow poundage question
It's my opinion that a given bow's efficiency will be at it's best when the limbs are bottomed out. Also,when they are bottomed out,they're solid-thus eliminating moving parts-less chance for movement at pockets. However from your post it sounds like you may want to trade for a slightly lower poundage bow to comfortably shoot it under all conditions. When I ordered my newest mathews,I went with 60# limbs so that the limbs would be bottomed at weight my old shoulders could take. It's harder to draw your bow when in awkward position such as in treestand and/or bundled up than it is at range or practicing.
