If you have pivoting limb pockets you probably won't see much of a performance difference between the 70 lb limbs turned down vs. 60 lb limbs maxed.

Just curious - what do pivoting limb pockets have to do with the efficiency of the bow?

With pivoting limb pockets you are able to maintain limb pocket contact when you adjust the weight because the limb will stay fully seated inside the pocket when you adjust the weight up or down. Thus giving you all the efficiency of full limb to pocketcontact without having to draw full poundage.

Generally speaking it is said that a bow without pivoting pockets is more efficient when the limb surface is fully bedded into the limb pocket, or at full poundage.

I would very much like to see the technical reasoning behind your statement. If you can point me to a website that can explain the phyiscs of this, I'd appreciate it. In the past, I've done thorough searches on this subject, but haven't come up with anything.
