Yes, and no. Like the other guys are saying your performance is best with limbs at full stress. However, that doesn't mean you should sell your bow if you want to shoot at lower weight or that you have to shoot at full draw weight. Your just not at the most efficient setting for the bow.

If you don't mind about loosing a few fps then don't worry about it. Just wait until you buy your next bow and get one that maxes at 60#.

Gotcha, I have been shooting a 70# bow for about 17 years so I am used to it. This is the first time I have ever heard of hunters going down in wieght, guess its the tech. Just bought this bow about a month ago so will not be purchasing another for a while, the last two lasted 10 years each. This new bow is very fast so even at 60 or 65 lbs it will be over 300fps thats all I need.
Thanks

No, not at all. But it will perform best at peaked weight.But if you are one of the guys that is always buying a 70# bow and turning the poundage down to the lower 60# settings your bow will not perform as well as a 60#er peaked.

Don your timing for this post couldn't have worked out better for me. This split limb problem may turn out to be a blessing!
