Can you "long string" a recurve to reduce the poundage and still shoot accurately?

No. There is no poundage adjustment on traditional bows.
You can get a tiny bit more speed with a low brace height, but it will be louder, less accurate, and slapping your forearm.
The extra speed is neglible. Manufacture of your bow should tell you what to set your brace height at.

Just wondering if it would work.

If so it probably wouldn’t be enough to tell a difference, longer power stroke with lower brace may also give a slight bit more speed, but not significant. The best way to reduce draw weight is by changing bows. You can get drastic and sand limbs or “trap” them but even this doesn’t reduce a lot. If you happen to need a lighter bow to shoot Saturday I’m sure one of us can bring you one to use. Most of us old folks have “girly” bows now. I got plenty but not sure if I will be healed up or not to be there.

Grinder; I thought you had this retired thing figured out, looks like the work has only begun. Those HoneyDo list are never empty.

With your wife being a kid doctor and you being a cow doctor I was sure you could “guide” me in the right direction. I took a hip shot, probably the same thing you give those cattle, you don’t forsake them afterwards do you?

I got a life time of honey do’s, and wish lists backed up. Never had time, money, or gumption to do them when i used to do nothing but work.
I gotta admit, its been enjoyable watching the improvements .
Ya get satisfaction watching things improve, vs falling down.
I wouldn't "forsake you".... I'd just "guide" you in the direction of the bushes or the clubhouse facilities if you start looking green.
We don't forsake the calves unless they get chronic lung lesions. Considering a full grown cow's lungs are the same size as an ours it doesnt take much scare tissue to chronic them. That usually happens after a 2nd round of antibiotics if the first one didn't nip it in the bud. At that point fresh pasture, no pressure, and time are their only hope.
I can bring my dart gun in case you need a pop in the other hip for a retreat if you'd like. Since you've read my track record on retreats you might want to pass on my method.
Carp.........seriously?..........you want any of this gang shooting at you with a dart gun "hoping" to hit you in the right spot? Hmm.........

Well Sandman is one of the better shots out of our group. But guess that ain’t saying much! Began to see signs of life today so I may get to come take my whooping Saturday.

It was set wednesday, so, i dont know. Im tied down until late saturday, so someone else will need to check, or, be surprised saturday. Worst we should have to do is climb over some trees.

My arrows aren’t ready yet. I believe my cane and baby turkeys will be grown before I get any manufactured arrows delivered.

Still above ground and was able to get out a little yesterday but feel way to weak to make the course yet. May have to let you you guys score my card while I stay in. Goal is to be able to preach Sunday and being out in this weather after being so sick may not be the best way to accomplish that. I might have to listen to the wifey for a change!
