Limb length and draw weight
Now that my draw length has increased to a magnificent 30" I need to change from 68" limbs to 70". I'm being told by some people that in going to a longer limb I should also increase the draw weight by 2lb because the extra length will make the bow easier to pull. I'm not convinced - surely 36lb limbs are 36lb limbs, whether they are made in 68" or 70". Or am I being thick?
