ive been heavy into Traditional for a few years now and

I shoot 3 under...mainly because it was more comfortable for me when starting out.
also i have problems with my hand, 3 under is more comfortable for me

i have problems shooting split with a glove ...for some reason...it feels aukward....split is much easier with a tab for me...every once in a while i'll get out a tab and shoot split to mix things up(i have a extra string that has a lower nockpoint that i use for it). i should make a 3 under tab and seehow i like it.

my current bow is marked 48# @27
heres a riser shot



i have one ordered thats a "Chek-mate atilla" i think its gonna be around 43# @27 if i remember right.
its gonna be mygo slo "sports" bow

at some point id likea longbow around 60#'s pull..


right now i can draw a 70# compound from any position and shoot easilly...

but i cant shoot a trad bow at 70#...never tried...

i did shoot a 65# longbow for about7 or 8 shotsshots last fall and i was done after that....it took alot of concentration to anchor and settle in...it just felt like too much work(and it was hard on my hand)
but i like the way it shot......right now i think i would be better at it...because ive been shooting a few 3-4 times a week for the past couple months.

I can spend2-4 hours with a 45-50# bow comfortable and thats the way i like it...if i had a 65-70 pound bow it wouldnt be worth getting out becuase id probably only beable to spend30 min tops with it.

as far as holding anchor i can very comfortable with 48# for around 30 secondsand shakey for probably 15 more.

not sure about a 65#er but i could probablyhold 10 secondsok and not much longer after that.

im not a large man... 5-9 or so... i definately dont think its worth it to be Macho with your Draw weights on Trad bows.

get yourself a 45#er and enjoy the practice.

sorry for the long post....
