Jim at Belcher bows could lighten your existing limbs in his bow hospital. Any good bowyer COULD make you a new set of limbs for slightly more than the cost of a new custom high end bow. Your best bet is to either have that one lightened or buy another used bow with the correct draw weight.

Jim is not a TG sponsor, so I won't post a link, but you can find him if you type belcher bows into your puter search engine. Give him a call and talk to him about your ideas. He is a fine fellow and a second generation bowyer.
