Hobbes, you definitely don't want to overbow. I started back shooting a 62# recurve, that I had stored away for twenty years. I did okay for about a month straining and tugging pulling back to full draw. Now I'm paying for it. The tendons are finally starting to get back to normal after three weeks. I'm down to shooting a 40# lomgbow whenever the old arm isn't hurting too bad.
