Seriously, if you don't have enough physicalstrength to draw a 55# bow, you probably won't have enough strength to catch yourself if you'd slip from the stand. I really wouldn't want that on my conscience.
OMG this is the finniest thing I have read. My 6 year daugher can catch her self better than me. Has nothing to do with just peer strength.
I have hunted with 4 or 5 youth hunters with bows set a 40 lbs. We are4 for 4 on deer. I would rather have them shoot less pounds accurately
than shoot heavier pound bow to be macho to their buddies.
Truer words have never been spoken. I think some people get their jollies just saying "my son bow hunts, and he's only 3 years old," or "my wife is a big-time bowhunter." Pads their ego or something. They leave out the important details that you could throw the arrows harder than their bows are shooting, or that they've crippled 12 deer in 3 seasons.
Those are some big assumptions
