Yeah, it's kind of sad. I'm having trouble pulling back a compound bow. It's draw back weight is 55. I set it at 45 for now. But I still can't pull back 45. I really enjoy hunting but its frustrating. Im an average kid, 115 lbs, 13, 5"0' - 5"1'and ive been working out to gain more muscle for hunting. I've tried pulling the bow back with a release, and im getting close but it strains my muscles. My dad got me into hunting and the first time I saw him get a 13 point whitetail, was when I knew I wanted to do it. My bow is a Black Bear, the draw length is 30, and the amo compound string length is 36. The bow says 55 draw back weight, but my dad set it to 45. Is that bad?
