Mudd,
I have always shot bows that were lighter than whatever was in style I guess. I am about 6'5", and weigh 295lbs. When I go to shoots, lots of guys look at my bows and give me a hard time about my "light-weights". I guess they expect big guys to shoot stiff bows.
I don't shoot competitively or anything but do shoot a lot of 3D shoots. Most of the shoots will let you go around as many times as you want for $10, if you do not want to get in on the money. I can shoot around 3 times and still pull my bows without shaking. All those other over-bowed guys go once and on their last three shots, shake so bad trying to draw, they rarely hit anything.
I score better on my last round a little tired than a lot of them do on their first when they are fresh.
Lightening up is no big deal. I know how it is to have to give up a bow you’re attached to. That's what hurts. I have been accused of being fonder of my bows; than I was of any of the gals I dated. I didn't see any problem. Now I love my wife at least as much as my favorite bow though.
