The lowest draw weight my bow will go to is around 60 lbs. Will five lbs. make a significant difference or do I need to buy new limbs?

What group sizes would you be looking for at 20, 30, and 40 yards before you would attempt shots in the field at those ranges?

Draw Length and Arrow Length

Let's say I adjust my draw length from 29.5 to 29 or even 28.5. Do I have to cut my arrows to accommodate the shorter draw length?

They may manufacture the high end models in the US, but the Stealth (and I'm sure the youth models) are marked Made in China on the back of the manual.
