Take the weight you want (40) and divide it by the weight you have (35).  The amount after the decimal is the percent you want to increase. Divide that by 5 and that is the percent of limb you want to cut off.  Times that by the length of the bow and that is how much you want to cut off. 40/35=1.1428    .1428/5=.0285   .0285X61=1.74   To increase a 61" bow from 35 to 40 you would cut off 1.75" or 7/8" off each limb.  Justin

The bow pulled 42# when it was 65". I expect it will be close to 50# when I'm done (I hope).

Like Stan said, it is in TBB 1. It is in the tillering section.  Justin

Ryan, I piked the bow and put on new tips. The draw weight has definitely increased, but the tiller is still off so I didn't take it to full draw. I'll be traveling on business the rest of the week but I intend to fix the tiller this weekend. And then I will put on the finish.

Alright, the bow has been piked, new tips installed, tiller evened and the bow finish sanded. She came in at 48# @ 28".

We're back in the game boys!

 I'll post some pics a little later today.
