A friend of mine, who isn't really into archery, wants to shoot super heavy longbows-100lbs or more. I wish he'd realize how dangerous that is. However, he points out that Howard Hill use to pull heavy bows without problems, and you just have to work up to it. I love my shoulder too much though, and might be pushing it at 60lbs. I shoot 55lbs now, which is pretty comfortable, but I was thinking about 60lbs for my next longbow. I hope you're guys shoulders heal up.

God bless,
Brandan
