Default What are you guys pulling?

I'm 15 and I want to get into archery, I dont know what I should be pulling, I have an average body shape for a 15 year old if that helps, would 50 be to much?

50 should be pretty good. I'm 15 and I pull about 60 but I'm also 6'2, 220 and I've been shooting for a while now, so that makes a big difference. I dont think youll have a problem with 50 punds but its hard to say because everyones different. If it does happen to be too much for you just remember that if you cant hit anything theres no point in drawing the extra weight. Start low and get the fundamentals down, and you will notice the weight rises suprisingly fast.

I'm 5'5, and 130, I will probably go to one of the archery stores around here and just draw a few back and see what feels good, but I want a bow that will lasta little while.

I forgot to mention that if you get a 50-60 pound bow they will be able to tune it to a little less that 50 pounds (47-48) if it is too much.
