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.
Yes your showing your intelligence..I can cut a piece of limb of a tree and tie a sting to both sides and call it a self made bow it may pull at 35lbs but depending on the limb im using it dosnt mean its going to shoot the arrow at enough speed to kill anything with it. SO without knowing what was used to build this "self made bow" its hard to say weather it will kill anything or not without understanding the velocity. You myfriend (Gunplummber) are the goofball and yes this is an opinion forum but passing bad advise only makes bad things happen. Please understand you playing keyboard lawyer, can have a bad effect on new hunters who take your word for the golden rule. Jurassic park did you check out the site I mentioned to you in my previose post?
Old bows are not self made bows so you have no idea what your talking about. Deputey Doggs again is in the right.
