I myself....I would shoot for the 45-50 pound range....a lot less chance of it breaking...but then it depends on how clear the Board was too....how much run-off...what grain it was...edge...biased... conventional...or Decrowned....I prefer Biased or edged grain myself for the Bow Styles that I build ...if I am going with a Board Bow
