Keep working on 30#... It'll draw with some practice

RE: My bow is finally here!
 

Thats how I was when I got my first bow. I could barely draw back 40 pounds and could probably only shoot about 5 times before my arm would hurt.

Eventually though I got those muscles used to it and now I am pulling about 52 pounds. You will get the hang of it:)

good news!
 

I managed to pull the bow right back, it anchors at my leftcheek, really swell and a very smooth draw cycle.

I was worrying for nothing![&o]

Well alright girl!!!

Keep working on it and you will be drawing with ease in no time.......enjoy your new bow!

RE: good news!
 

Thanks :D

RE: good news!
 

sounds like yu were scared to pull the thing back???

Are you pulling with fingers or a release?

im asking because pulling with a release seams easier...especially with certain styles.
it will get easier and youll be raising poundage in no time.

if you know how to work out....work your 4arms and Tricept a little everyday(dumbells or stik weighted with milkjugs for forearm curlsand use a Chair to do whati call "chair dips" for tricept/back)
this guy is doing chair dips......
...


you can dowhat i call reverse pushups wich are great if you want a lowstress exercise (just put your back to the wall and push yourself away with your elbows, do this untill you cant anymore.....you can move your feet out or in for more or less weight...also your elbow position makes a difference in how the muscles are worked)...i did these when i messed up my shoulder...it helped me rehab when i wasnt quite ready to lift anything.

drawing a bow is different than any exercise but a little workout everyday will help tighten up the ol muscles.

hey RJ, nice to see you got you're first rig set up, well almost.....

like the guys say, just keep practicing the right muscles.
You might want to do some googling to see how to draw back the correct way, without straining anything.
And post a pic with your bow at full draw, so we can see your anchor and chck if your DL is ok....

Have fun.....
