No offense at all, but please, for the love of everything holy, if you can't handle the draw weight especially, NEVER draw a bow without an arrow nocked! One tiny slip and you blow the bow up, potentially causing a serious injury. Just shoot the thing every day or every other day and work up to it. By 15, I had shot a bow enough that I was drawing a 70# no problem. If you absolutely can't get it back, certainly look in to another bow, but with a little practice and working out, you will have it back no problem. Good luck, but seriously, do not draw an empty bow back.
