Default RE: New to traditional bowhunting

the advice about going to a lower weight, well i wished I had followed it. I went with 55 lbs and it was alot more than I thought. I was used to shooting compound bows set around 70, but that let-off is more a factor than I realized. If i could do it over, i proabably would have got a 45lbs. But I shoot 45- 70 times a day now so I don't shake or anythng anymore, but at first it was rough. I was extremely careful about form and anchor point etc. so as to not form bad habits or develope incorect muscle memory, but it was stupid of me. I should have went lighter. It would have been too much I think if I had not had alot of time on my hands to practice, and I'm still very newbish and green so I may have developed problems I am not aware of yet.
