You can't pull a LIBERTY past 60lbs.............:D

Let the second round begin[:o]:D:D

;)

RE: Why can't I pull more weight?
 

Then I would probably stick with that 60 lb setup. ;) I am not bustin' on you at all but rather feel that if you are having a bit of difficulty with a Liberty past 60 lbs then you are probably going to have even more difficulty with other bows.

However, there was a gentleman that once posted on these forums...his screenname was Field14. I remember him mentioning on more than one occasion how he would shoot a 50 lb bow with light arrows during 3D shoots and win because all of the 70 lb shooters were showing fatigue. A pretty wise lesson could be learned there...at least from a target/3D standpoint.

RE: Why can't I pull more weight?
 

Well, I can't pull much more than 60 pounds on a round wheel bow now. At 6'6" and 350, I don't have many guys calling ME a 'girly-boy.' [>:] A lot of them remember that, 15 years ago, I was shooting an 80 pound compound for field archery, regularly shot a 120 pound longbow, and had a 100 pound Martin Cougar XRG banned from the range after I broke a brand new McKenzie deer with it. The impact from that 2419 busted it off at the knees. (Those early McKenzies had spindly legs anyway.)

I had my day with heavy draw weight bows and now my shoulders are paying for it. I wish now I'd never shot over 65 pounds. Odd thing is, I get the same speed with the same arrow today with my 60 pound ProTec that I got back then with my 80 pound ProVantage.

Just something to think about, Bowman.[&:]

RE: Why can't I pull more weight?
 

If your so content on your shooting abilty then why do you need more weight. Why fight it and build up your muscle to shoot more weight than sit in a tree for a few hours freezing your arse off then not even be able to draw anyway?????[8D]:(

I am a 21yr old power lifter, everyone wants to lift more weight, but it doesn't matter if you draw 100lbs if you can't hit anything. the key is being able to draw SLOWLY and SMOOTHLY. If you can't hold your bow at full draw easily it's too much weight. Confidence, comes from accuracy, not strength.

RE: Why can't I pull more weight?
 

Bowman, I shoot 56lbs on a Fred Bear Bruin Express, with Monster Buck ACA 4000=55/70 carbon arrows and muzzy 3 blade 125gr bh. and i hunt elk with that set up, and i have no prob putting one down. I think 60lbs is plenty of power. But that is just my opinion, you gotta shoot what you feel comfy with.

Everybody is so tough when they talk over a computer...

RE: Why can't I pull more weight?
 

Get off the couch, lose the pink panties and shoot more often. If you shoot 60 on a frequent basis there's no reason you couldn't crank back a 70.
I shoot 70 comfortably, but I can muscle back my buddies 80 pounder.
I think you need conditioning.
Good luck.

RE: Why can't I pull more weight?
 

bowman here's a neat little thing that i know will help bought one for my daughter 2 yrs ago, she couldnt pull more than 25lbs well after 3 months of using this she now pulls 50lbs and has also improved her shot placement, you can get these at cabelas or most sports shops ...... hope this helps deadshot

RE: Why can't I pull more weight?
 

Try a parker ez draw.They are awsom .A lot of guys that shoot 60#find they can pull 70# with this bow with no problums.pan.

RE: Why can't I pull more weight?
 

I'd have to say that shooting more regularly and any upper body exercise's will definetly help you out .There's lot's of exercises you can do without joining a gym. Arm's and shoulder's exercises are your target, so use your imagination and you'll be pulling more weight. Do your exercises regular and shoot regular and your on your way.

RE: Why can't I pull more weight?
 

WHY... because you're just a weak little snot.[8D]

OK, first off, a man(or gal) has to know their limitations. All people are not created equal. YOU CAN do more if you start exercising to get you to your goal. Lift some weights, shoot more etc etc. The worst thing you could do is shoot more poundage than you can comfortably pull, hold and shoot. Unless your extremely small of stature and all that you should beable to raise that up to 70 in a short time. How far above that you go is another matter. It will take some work.

I had the opportunity to sit down with that Joella Parsons a couple years ago and chat for a while. She had just come back from killing a Cape Buffalo with her bow. Admittedly Joella isn't a tiny thing... but she's no body builder either. She worked her head off for a few months and was comfortable with her 90 pound bow to shoot her buffalo. So, there you go...work work work if you want more. Incidently... that girl is a riot and fun to sit around and chew the fat with. I saw her the next year and she had gone and made herself down right "Buff". She went on a diet, exercise program and all that in celebration of a divorce or something and was really a changed person... but still awfully dang funny.
