Bear recurve bow dating - opinion

I was standing over a Brown bear I shot with my recurve in Alaska. I was investigating what organs my broadhead hit and was also discussing with my guide about a rib that was sheared in two by my broadhead. I explained they were all awesome to me but that I was super excited about a brown bear hunt I was about to embark on. He asked me what poundage my bow was. I asked if he had ever shot a traditional bow or a brown bear before and the answer was a flustered no to both. This has been a common response I have grown used to over the years. And if I was extremely honest I would have to say that my bow is right between 53 and 54 pounds. When I managed an archery shop in Northern Colorado I would often discuss poundage and my lack thereof with fellow traditionalists. What I commonly saw if I was competing or just watching other people shoot is that more often than not guys that scoffed at my light poundage and bragged about their hunting bows that were pounds at their draw rarely actually came to full draw. bear recurve bow dating
