                       sincerely and with utmost respect for the artists in here  J.B.

I dont think you can go that far. I have read of guys using wedges to change the limb angle. Any thoughts on that out there.

I agree that is too much on a recurve.

BW will sometimes do 5 pounds if none was taken off during the building. They have records on each bow build.

Have you looked on the BW web site to see if someone would want to trade ?
