I have a Pearson Mustang 50# which has become my go to bow. I really shoot well with it. The handle, however, seems a little big or thick to me. I'd like to reduce it like 1/8 " all around. First of all, can it be done? Second, how?
Thanks

If you don't remove to much stock.I don't think 1/8th would be to much.Should be OK.I've trimmed down several 1959 Kodiaks which are pretty thin to start with...bd
