I'm at the opposite end of where you are and I started at the end too.
I started bowhunting when I was 14 years old. I'm now 61 years old so that encompasses 47 years. During all this time the heaviest bow, a recurve, I ever bowhunted with came in at 44#.
My first bow, another recurve, I took a deer with was a 36# target bow with white limbs when I was 16 years old. A pass through broadside shot with a 2 blade broadhead which took out both lungs.
If you look at my signature, the two recurve bows I bowhunt with now are 42# and 37#. I'm very accurate with these two bows and they don't take a toll on my shoulders. These two reasons are why I love my "very light" bows.
Of course, I used a very heavy arrow setup shooting 13 GPP arrows and above for both bows, but this year, I'm dropping down in GPP which you can see in my signature since I'm going to bowhunt with my light 2212 aluminum target arrows. Even though the 2212s are light in weight at 8.8 GPI, they're heavy enough GPP wise and that is due to my 30" draw length shooting 32" BOP arrows.
I will tell you right now, I could "not" draw your 62# "girly" bow to my anchor. I doubt I could draw it 20" of my 30" draw length.
Since you're presently shooting an 80# bow, there might come a time where you will have to go down in poundage. "If" that time ever comes, you'll learn to shoot your 62# bow and it just may surprise you in terms of what you and it can do together.
