Level of reduced draw with shorter draw? Sammick Sage & Others

I see that the vast majority of traditional bows have their draw weights rated at 28". I was wondering how much lower the draw weight would be for traditional bows (longbows and recurves) if you only pull 26 or 27"?

This is specifically for the Sammick Sage recurve, as I was planning to get one to compliment my longbow (but I welcome input for other bows as well). Hypothetically, if I get a 50# @ 28", would that translate into 40# @ 26" or 45# @ 27"? What about an overdraw at 29" - 55#?

Another question, on the Shibuya there's an option for "Single mount" and "Double mount." What do those mean? And lastly, is the sight aperture on either of the sights suitable, or is there better after-market apertures that are better? I'm sort of thinking that is something I should be buying from my local shop so i can actually te...
