I need to make a bow for a friend who cannot right now pull a 40 lb bow to his draw length. So I plan on building a bow that will be 30 lbs and I can later shorten, recurve, and heat treat to make the 40 lbs at his draw length without actually making another bow when he is ready for it. Just a neat project I thought I would share with you guys, and see what yall think of it.
