>Okay, not being a horseman (could you imagine? Poor horse!), but being both an
archer and a bowyer, I fully support this wieght limit, I'd even write it as
"10-15# less than your grounded/standing draw weight", because a person who
strains to pull a 35# bow will have the same problem.

Japanese longbow, or yumi (not yumi bow PLEASE, that translates as "bow bow"). 
I'll build one, one of you horsey folks will have to volunteer to try it out.
