BPS, correct me if I am wrong, but as the a-a gets longer the weight goes up. When you tighten a limb bolt to increase poundage on a bow the limb tips get further away correct? Likewise, as you loosen the bolts to decrease the poundage the limb tips (and a-a) get closer. Long stringing a bow will cause the a-a to go up, and theoretically will cause the weight to go up.

Last week I was helping out at a local shop and we long stringed a guys bow to get his drawlength longer. This also took his draw weight up some in the process.


I agree that the best way to get the desired specs is to buy it that way from the get go, but sometimes that is not economically feasible.
