bona,
the midlimb stats are the most important. The 40# bow bent too much on the innerlimbs, and too little on the outterlimbs. I Should have tillered both lams better (get both bending properly!)
my 40# bow has a 1/2" thick, 18" long handle, is 60" ntn and measures:
- 7/16" at midlimb (1/2" at fades, 3/8" 4" away from the tips)
my 58# bow (feels a little lighter, guess 55#, wich might also be the smooth draw)
has a 12" long, 1" thick powerlam/grip, is58" ntn and measures:
- 15/32" at midlimb (9/16" at the fades, 11/32" at 4" from tip)
the gain of drawweight from 1/16" and 2" shorter is 15pounds... wow.
