I have a question about limb pressure or too much draw weight.
How many lbs. of over draw weight can the limbs on my '08, 70# Firecat handle before there would be a problem. when you wrap up your cables to bring your ATA and BH into spec, there is a significant amount of added draw weight to the limbs. Can the limbs say, go to 75# -80# before they break? I'm not going to wrap up my cables till the cams are touching, but I want to know if I wrap them, then tighten the bolts, and I get a draw weight of say, 78 lbs. on a draw scale, ( Not that I have, I have seen 72.6 at full tightened limb bolts) Can the limbs handle being tested to reset my draw weight down to where I want it?
I plan on using this as my hunting bow, and I don't want a high draw weight when I'm out in the woods and tired to have to pull back 70# anyway, I'm more accurate at about 65#
I'm Someone who likes to know this type of information, just to prevent costly mistakes. I have a lot of educating to do with archery, and most of you have been shooting a lot longer than me, so I appreciate correct info.
Thanks
