RE: Drawing your bow.
Agreed. Only one time did I pull a bow back and point it up to do it. One of my friends had an old Jennings that I think he said was at #70 draw. It felt like #170. The first time I tried to pull it back I couldn't. Of course I didn't want to look like a wimp so I sucked it all up and barely had enough to break it over. I was sure happy but I think I talked with a higher pitch for a week. I try to practice the way I'll hunt and try draw straight back and also will draw very slowly. Sometimes real slow.
