Thanks.

I can get some new limbs for 100€(about $140), available in 5# increments all the way to 60#. I was thinking of getting a pair of 40# before I go back to Canada.(currently in Austria).

Hmm, so a bow/finger sling? I've seen those before, my teacher uses one. I tend to use my pointer finger and my thumb to hold the bow loosely, but I might look into a finger sling sometime.
