RE: Newbie: When to upgrade draw weight?
Hiya Little Miss Purple,
I also shoot with a Samick Agulla riser (nice paintwork, but it chips like nobodys business). I've had my kit since November and I've shot with 36lb limbs during the indoor season, which was fine, but I've got to a stage where I am ready to shoot Yorks/FITA. I've found that the limbs I've got, with my sight set up, I wasn't able to reach 100 yds without aiming 5 feet over the top of the target. I took the bow back to the shop and they duly cranked up the Agulla riser to increase my poundage by 10%. This and a raised, padded out tab enabled me to reach 100yds without any problem. This has saved me the trouble of buying a new set of limbs.
Best wishes and happy shooting,
Steve
