Reducing draw weight?
« on: September 17, 2011, 03:24:00 PM »
I won a bear TD hunter in a raffle and wanted to give it to one of the grandsons, BUT, it's a 60# draw weight.  Can the limbs be taken down any?  I checked in buying a new set but they want $200.00 for a set and  I can't seem to locate any used ones.

Also if the draw weight can be lowered any recommendations on who can do it?

List them here in the for sale/trade section.Heavier bear limbs seem to be in demand so you may well find someone that will swap you a set of lighter ones.

Only a minimal amount of draw wt. may possibly be reduced if at all.
