Wholly crap 80 lbs...you must eat your Wheaties in the morning ...lol
Im not a expert bower by any means...the bows I have made were of survival type...the one thing I know is you can only take so much weight off a bow before you "compromise the integrity" of the bow.
I do know that expert boyers can do what they do but it comes at a cost as the bow has to be worked with tiller and draw weight...than re-finished...
Time consuming and expensive...
I know I wouldnt attempt it if I liked the bow..lol
I would find an professionial bower or maybe simply buy a lower poundage bow for the cost..and keep the original for a momento...?
Petew here on the forum would be the best bet to steer you in the right direction ...
