Most certainly NOT. In fact, far to many folks are over-bowed these days and you see it at the Shops and 3D shoots all season.... guys struggling to draw their bows back and/or "sky-drawing", having to raise their bows over the heads and pull down to get them back.

A persons draw weight should be based on what YOU, the individual, can draw back straight and smoothly!

One trend that I've been pleased about seeing over the last few seasons has been that the "average" bowhunter is backing down his draw weight and decreasing their draw length as well.

Top shots are NEVER strainging or over-bowed! A shooter MUST be as confortable and relaxed as possible for consistency!
