Draw adjustment question

Hi; I have never bow hunted, and decided to go this year. I bought a used bow from a friend, and he told me a bow shop could adjust the draw to any weight I wanted. I'm 68 years old, and don't have the arm strength I used to, and could not pull the string back at all. I went to the shop, and the bow was set at 67 lb. They adjusted it to 57 lb. and I can pull it back, but with difficulty. How low can the bow be taken down. I feel I could draw 50 lb. I'd go to the shop again, but I'm kinda ashamed to have them lower it again. Would anyone know???????????

My old man's backhand used to land,
Hard on the side of my head.
I just learned to stay out of his way.
There's been streetfights, blue lights,
Long nights with the world sittin' on my chest:
It just showed me how much I could take.
Hard times, bad luck.
Sometimes, life sucks.
That's all right, I'm ok.
It ain't nothin' but another day.

The screwss you loosen to drop the draw weight also hold your limbs on to the riser so if you loosen them too much the will come off. DON'T LOOSEN THEM TOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
