80 lb bow

[huntindoc]

Looking around for an 80 lb bow.  I know, lots of reasons to stick with 70 lbs...  Anyway-  anybody know who is making heavier bows?  And where can I shoot them?  I would love a bow that I can change the limbs out for more typical poundage later if I need.  I've been looking around, and it's tough to find!  Any advice would be helpful.  Thanks

Holy smokes you are strong.  80lbs is alot for a bow to weigh.  They make way lighter bows.  You might want to look around.  Mine only weighs 3.9lbs.

I wouldent mind an 80 next time around. Seems you could use the 5 pinner as a 30 50 70 90 and 110.
Really though. One pin to 60 would be better. Lol
Wonder if you could skip ahead to 20 yard increments?

I had my limbs replaced after they broke. Bill put some used furry limbs on. I gained 5 pounds. Now it is 75 pounds now. Can't you buy heaver limbs?

You would not skip ahead to 20yd gaps

I think one of the challenges for 80 and above with wheel bows is finding proper arrows.  I looked around for a heavy draw compound and arrows, and the arrows were basically taking a small diameter and inserting it into a large diameter shaft just so you could get the right spine.

i shoot both my 2  heavy poundage bows with 2314 aluminum arrow shafts and they spline just fine have no problem grouping out to 80+ yards

I'm shooting Alaska Bowhunting safari stix with 315 gr broad head for cape buffs next summer.  The experts said I did not need more lbs and I was not going to replace but then my current bow broke (again...) so good reason to replace!  Where can I go to shoot these bows?  Any shops around that have a bunch of models?  I'm not opposed to used, will be in touch elkaholic1

2314's out of 103# Hoyt TurboTec/Spiral Cam   That's down right scary!  I guess they do spine out at a 20" length

huntindoc - Hoyt, PSE, Mathews and Bowtech will all get you 80# limbs if you order them.  If you have a standard compression limb bow Barnsdale will make them for you as well.
