Hi guys...

Just wondering, the new Bowtechs seem to have 40, 50, 60 and 70 draw weights.
Common sense tells me, that the 40's should be tunned down as far as 30 (!!!) lbs...

This goes for all bows with limb bolts... What about center pivot bows?
I can't realy imagine taking down the Admiral to 30-32 lbs.

They can be turned down to 30 pounds, but that doesn't mean that they should be. They should be shot at a comfortable poundage, appropriate for archer and game, and at one that suits the arrows well.

I suspect (and this is my own pure specuation) that the reason you have high end bows with low end draw weights is to accomodate ladies, as well as older hunters, or those who may have endured shoulder injuries but still want the performance and technology a high-end bow offers. I'd much rather shoot a 50#, high end, well made performance bow, than a 60# bow that I didn't like or shoot nearly as well. Especially when it comes to rehabing hurt shoulders.

So it is true.

This opens a brand new market for Bowtech's then. At least I'm sold for one of those for my girlfriend.
33# at 26 1/2" is what she turns. Now that would mean to choose from Admiral, Sentinel, Brigadier, Iceman or Rock.
To be honest, the Iceman cought my eye the most... Maybe I just want a sexeh bow for a sexeh girl.

Still, there is no bow which could put her in shadows... Yet.

Keep in mind that all of the new Bowtech/Diamond center pivot bows can be turned down completely to work on the bow (peep sights, etc...)
