RE: Why can't I pull more weight?
 

Hey PA, I'm shooting a Liberty now for 3D set at 59 lbs.
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.

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.[&:]

Must be a terrible thing getting beat by a "Sally" on the 3D range.:D

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]:(

Actually Newshooter I turn the Bow down to about 54 or 55lbs if I am going to be in a stand for that very reason. I would just like to build up for stalking game such as Caribou where the shot may be farther out.

Drink alot of beer before going hunting , liquid adrenaline! :D:eek:


You might get beer muscles......[8D]
