I bought the bow on Friday . I found out on Saturday that it takes a whole lot of muscles to hold that thing back at full draw . Pulling 65 lbs. is a little different than holding 45 . For now I have some " training wheels on it " . I installed the bisquit and a sight . I'm learning to shoot with my fingers . At close range I'm pretty accurate , tho I did miss the pigeons I was shooting at . Already - it is easier to pull and hold , I hope to get a kill with it this coming weekend . Once I figure the bow out - I'll try the "no sight" thing again . One question - Does the fletching hitting the riser and shelf throw the arrow to the left ? I havn't even tried it ,,,,, but it seems that it would .
