Pike an older bow?

[Hood]

I've been looking for an older static Grizzly or Kodiak in a heavier weight, but haven't had much luck. I'm talking about the early 50's type with the built up tips.

Anyway, I was wondering if it would be possible to Pike one of these bows of a lighter weight. I'm guessing that if possible, it would probably give up a lot of performance with the bow.

Anyone have much experience in this area?

Thanks, Robert
