sounds like a Patriot C Riser bow.  nice looking bows.  50 pounds is not the norm these were mainly target bows so they are typically in te 30 pound range.

Your right. Most were used for target shooting with light weight limbs.
I did come across the same setup with #65 limbs attached!
This is a very unusual setup....

It could have been marked 50#on the A riser,then on C it can be around 45#!
