Recurve draw weight advice needed

By

My GF and I have two bows: a 45# 62" recurve and a 30# 62". I'm looking at a 64" for myself, as I am overdrawing the 62" and I've outgrown the 30#. So my choices are a 35 pound or a 40 pound. Those seem reasonable.

Now, the conundrum. Since I'm going with a longer bow (due to my height and draw length), is a 35 pound going to feel pretty much like the shorter 30 pound I'm overdrawing? Should I look to the 40 pound instead, and if it feels a little heavy, grow into it? I can also buy a 35# now and 40# limbs down the road. But I don't want to waste the $75 for another set of limbs if it's not what I need.

Thanks for any advice. I realize you all can't make the decision for me, but since I will be ordering it online, rather than from a shop to try out, your help would be much appreciated.

If there's any other top end sights you think are better, let me know. I want this to be the first and last sight that i ever buy, and price doesn't really matter. 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...
