A well made recurve can shoot like a straight limb bow that is 5# heavier.  ;)

Id leave it Bruiser. 5# isn't much, not to mention its a static and very few fellers build them or get them in exchange.....so......Id bet that 5# wont mean poo after they see the hooks on it.

i often find that when im not fully satisfied with a bow, if i leave it and shoot it for awhile i begin to really like it the way it is.

I don't have a static and I would be awful happy to see that bow, even if it were a little under.

I would leave it like it is, heck Arkansas just recently lowered its minimum draw weight to 35# to hunt with so anything 35# and over will hunt.  If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I would dig that if were slightly under weight.  Something like that would be nice after a long spell of no shooting, to get you worked back up those muscles.  I looks great as is. :)

It's gonna make a nice stumper or target bow. I like the lower weight for taget practice. Thanks for the input guys. Makes me feel better. When I developed that slight hinge I lost faith in myself. I learned a lot trying to get it out. I like how it turns out

I don't think anybody is gonna care if it's a bit light, imho as long as it's a useable weight I wouldn't care abit

I got one tillered out to 26.5" it is at the bottom of my victims weight request.  I will make a couple more and pick the best. This one is BL and it has very tight rings.  I will be shooting it in this evening after I get home from work let me know what y'all think.  This will be my second attempt with BL hope this one works,  ::)it should.  I know the full draw looks a little stiff on the right limb out of the fade but it has a whoop around the knot where it looks stiff.  It has taken 3/8" string follow and 7/8" total set.  It is the least set out of any bow to date
