More accurate with more poundage?

[Dave Lay]

I pretty much echo Charlie on this one..

There is also the issue of your body falling apart with ware and tare after years of shooting hundreds of arrows a day.  The muscle may still be there, but the joints and tendons argue with you.  a light bow can be shot Hill style as well a heavy bow.  Hill did not always use heavy stuff.  he had bows as low as 52 pounds to use.  If you need an 80lb. bow to get a good release you may find that a lighter bow will fight with you for a while, but in my case you do learn to release better with practice
