What do you goofballs think, that the draw weight is certified on the bow with a calibration sticker? Common markings on "Store bought" longbows and recurves is just writing on the bow with ink. A lot of assembly line woods were stamped with metal stamps into the wood.
Worry about the spine weight of an arrow? We are talking 35# here. Deputy Clown, I am one idiot that knows what he is talking about when it comes to old bows.
i've never looked in the book for it. I see your from PA also. I've heard many people say 35# is the minimum. I'm sure its somewhere in the regs, otherwise its an unspoken rule haha.
