Hi, I am new to archery and havent shot a bow in about 20 years. I used to shoot an old recurve 15-20# bow when I was a kid and had a great deal of fun with it and was actually quite good with it out to about 30 yards. I was at the pawn shot today and traded a $50 .22 pistol for a 70-80# High Country Eliminator compound bow. It has an 7 arrow quiver and brass sights on it. I have no idea what the bow is worth but I figured it would be a good start to be able to tell if it is something that I can do. I picked up an old Stemmler 50-60# a few weeks back and am able to pull it back reasonably well, but this 70-80# is pretty tuff. Any tips on getting into better shape to be able to handle this beast better? I am just using my fingers to be able to pull it back. Would one of those glove things help a bit? (I cannot remember the proper name for them). I have had 2 shoulder surgeries and my neck is not well either lol, maybe I picked the wrong sport to get into.... Tips and comments are welcomed.
