Good info from all, ill probably shoot a few different bow before i choose one or might even have one made. Ive shot some 45-50# recurves but when i tried my first long bow i kinda liked it better. Guess its like any thing finding the right one is personal preference. I figure I can handle a higher weighted bow like around 60 or so. Heck maby im wrong but that 80# bowtech is an easy pull. Even before the cam breaks over. Ive pulled 90# compound bows back smoothly with ease and good form. Ive shot my grandfathers fred bear 45# recurve quite a bit. I would like to have as much power as iI can get without struggling though so I will shoot some hevyer long bows before I decide. Thank you all for the advise and God bless. Ryan
