Hey.Today I applied my own homemade limbskins on my small game 30#,30 draw length, at 50" tall hunting bow. I drew back to about 25" andI expierienced a tighter more heavier draw weight than usual. I believe the draw weight increased to about 35#, which I dont mind, the higher the better, even though 30# is a decent strong weight. But I was wondering if any of you guys have ever applied limbskins and if it was suppost to increase the draw weight. Thanks.

Im no expert here by any means asI am new to "Trad" archery, but I don't think the purpose of limbskins is to add draw weight. I beleive their purpose is to camouflage unnatural colours. They might take away arrow speed but that I am not for sure on. It just seems to me like they would slow the limbs down on the power stroke and in turn slow down the arrow.
