I havent done it, but i imagine 70 lbs @80% letoff i could go a few minutes.

I'll try it this weekend. My guess is several minutes.

Truth be told I haven't tried it in some time. I am sure I could probably hold my hunting bow at full draw for close to a minute but how accurate I was afterwards is not something I think I could comment on without trying again.

With a 50 pound stickbow, I can hold 10-12 seconds before I start shaking.

My record with a high letoff compound was 6 min 27 secs. Didn't get tired or anything, just got bored and wanted to get on with my life.

I can make it about 3 seconds at full draw before my shot goes south....

I was Bowhunting hogs in June by a feeder & came to full draw on one that kept scurring around not letting me get a standing shot-I was at full draw & knew if I let down the pig would be long gone. I was right at my holding limit (for accuracy) & about to let down when I was presented a shot at 12 yards.
I video everything & as I was editing I timed it thinking I had to have held for about 2 min.It was57 seconds, 60#, 65% lt off. Now I am nearly 64 years old & remember in my Tourny days holding forever until that pin was dead on the X with a 50#, 20% letoff and a 48# no letoff stick bow.
Oh, the hog went about 60 yards.

TENminutes or longer if I really had to....NO joke all it takes is proper breathing exercises and isometric exercises...Try getting on the floor in the push up position...go down to the floor, push yourself back up and freeze right there. We call it locking out. Sure the first couple of times youll shake like a Bellydancer... but with commitment and time ...It will be quite easy. To be a good hunter ...you should be in half decent shape YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN , IN THE FIELD, YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT!!!!!!!AND I shoot an old... MARTIN LYNX MAGNUM... not that high tech expensive stuff there is out there today..Technology will or has made us a bit lazy/laxed. I mean no disrespect here, Im just making sense out of the nonsense!!
