I was in kinda a similar situation recently....

started off with 32# marked limbs, then upgraded to 34# limbs which I shot for a while. I did manage to hit 90m just at the tail end of last season. This was with approx 42# on my fingers, a new BCY8125 18 strand string and realtively heavy arrows (31")

A few months ago I upped my limb poundage to 38# marked weight, wich gives me approx 44# on my fingers. 90m is now much easier. This is probably the weight I will stay at for a very long time, since there is no urgent reason to up the poundage again.

However, there has been several threads in the past on a similar subject, which shows that you can still reach the longer distances with lower poundage. I guess the important factor is how good your form is - it makes a huge difference!!!

Best advice is to get out with the wound-in limbs and see what the performance is like....if needs be, shoot with them for a few months so that you get comfortable with the weight then see about upping the poundage if necessary.
