A compound bow consists of a riser, limbs, cams, strings, cables, and a grip. The riser is the central part where the limbs are attached. Limbs store and release energy when the bow is drawn. Cams control the draw weight and speed of the bow. Strings and cables transfer energy from the limbs to the arrow. The grip is where the archer holds the bow. Compound bows often have features like a sight, arrow rest, stabilizer, and peep sight to improve accuracy and performance.

The draw weight should be marked on the bow. You cannot go any higher than the marked draw weight unless your bow has removable limbs, then you could buy limbs with a higher draw weight. You will ruin the bow if you use it with a higher draw rate.
There should be a model name on the limbs of the bow. Use this name in an online search and you should be able to determine the age bow.
No, it onley gets longer if u change the draw length. Unless you get the wrong kind of limbs.
