Default RE: Need help pulling back compound bow.

I had a 25'' draw length when I was like 5'4. 30' is WAY too long and will never work for you. I had trouble pulling 40 pounds at your age. I took my time, set it low and drew it a few times a day. In no time I was used to that bow and the draw weight kept getting higher. Now I can pull my dad's 80 pound bow. I have a 60 pound bow and 28'' inch draw, but I'm built up, older, and 5'11 now. I'm only 130 pounds but it doesn't make a difference if you just take your time and wait to get built up. I bench press and work out quite a bit. I would not try using your bow unless you can get the draw down to at least 25''. It makes a TON of difference to shorten the length. Good luck.
