I shoot recurves also. Going from 45 lbs. @ 28" to 60 lbs. @ 28" is a huge step. For me it would be like going from a 40lb. compound to a 100lb. I can shoot a 74 lb. mathews Outback but anything over 53 lbs. in a recurve is WAY to much for me. You seem to be shooting well. I have shot for 5 years and am still not comfortable at 20 yards. I touch with the first 4 arrows and then put one 4 inches up-down-left-right. I don't feel like I can make that shot in the woods yet[&o]. Don
