I'm a crotchetty old fart 62 years old that has a hard timepulling myselfout of bed and I can handle 55 pounds on my recurve easily. GO figure.[8D][8D] I know what you mean Porker about muscle man not being able to do it. My buddy that doesn't bow hunt wanted to try and shoot my bow on a turkey trip a couple years ago. He goes to the gym every day, lifts weights 3 days a week, can carry me around but couldn't break my 70 pound compound over no matter how many times he tried. It really got in his head.LOL
