I can hold my 60# bow back for several minutes before I start shaking bad.

My new bow will be set at 70#, so I assume the length of time I'm able to hold at full draw will decrease.

I would say you're doing good if you can hold 70# for a full minute.

1 min no problem. I practice holding my bow back quite a bit.

i dont really know how long you "suppose" to be able to hold your bow at full draw but i got caught at full draw on a buck and he stayed behind a tree for almost 3 mins just staring at me so all i could do is hold it, needless to say i did and he;s now hanging on my wall, and i shoot 70#
