I am interested in getting about 10 lbs reduced on a set of limbs. Anyone have recommendations of whom to contact for this?

5# if your lucky

They are Bighorn limbs so the original bowyer is not an option. I didn't know if 10 lbs was even an option.

I just learned from Black Widow that they would take from 5 to 7 pounds off my PL limbs...the bow is 67 pounds so roughly 8 to 10%

5# off, IMO. I followed Byron Fergusons' advice in his book, Become the Arrow, and he was very specific about leaving fades alone, and working maybe just the last 14-15" of the limb. He was right, this fixed my Samick Sage 68" 57# bow, now it's 53# and MUCH easier to hold at full draw. No more shoulder joint pain! I have a 29" draw length.

Does anyone know someone that might be able to do this?
