[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 150680, member: 2740"] JD, I'm 5'9" 165 lbs. I used to shoot a heavy Black Widow recurve 80# @28" and I shot a 93# compound like a toy. I was at a stickbow carnival and a guy had an older Black Widow that was 93# @28" and nobody could pull it back. I have a picture of me at full draw with a 31" arrow with the tip all the way back to the arrow rest. I figure 100-110 lbs draw. 15 years and bilateral rotator cuff surgeries later I shoot a 52# Widow recurve and a 53# Hoyt compound. You are right about physical size not necessarily translating into more strength to pull a bow. Just wish my shoulder joints could have kept up! PS I appologize if I have ever said anything on here to offend a person of your size and strength! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Just kidding. [/QUOTE]
