Well said DaveH. I've been lifting for almost as long as I've been bow hunting (24 years, lifting on and off of course). I've found that the years I work out heavy prior to a bow season helps me shoot better, climb trees better, and stay warmer. Lifting in no way will change your accuracy overall, just by being stronger. I pull a 75# recurve back with no problems, and shoot rather consistent (consistently mediocre). Without the strength training, I couldn't do that. Of course, it's not about how many pounds you can pull back at all. But having more upper body strength sure helps with a smooth draw and follow-through.
