I have a compound and 70# is not a bad draw weight. If you have a bear tag that also gives you a enough power. You shouldn't pull more than you can handle though, once you set it, pull and see how long you can hold full draw at that setting. If it is too high dial it back. Remember to never "dry fire" your bow, which means firing it without an arrow. This will put all the energy from the string into the bow limbs and can cause damage to your bow.
