Yea bench doesnt have a WHOLE lot to do with it,, im 155 pounds, and use to push 245 on the bench.. not braggin but i think thats pretty good at 16 years old and 155 pounds.. i let a friend shoot my bow, hes about 200 pounds and Pushed 295...and hehad a really hard time with drawing it at 60 pounds.. when i first got mine 60 pounds was a lil heavy so i turned it down about 2 - 3 pounds, was a lil hard but not as bad.. shot that for 2 - 3 weeks then turned it back up to 60... pulling it with ease and feel like i could pull 65 with ease...Dont get too caught up in the weight tho, turn it to whereu feel comfortable and have at it, shoot a little everyday, sooner than u think u can turn it right back 70..
