[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1189997, member: 711"] The advice to start light with a bow is very good. I have had some physical problems since last bow season, have backed off my bow from 55 to 50, and really don't have the strength I should have for the 50, but beause my muscle memory knows how it's done, I can still pull it. I would go a little lower, but that's about the bow's lower limit. As your muscles learn the best way to draw, you will find that what initially seemed near impossible will become easy. Be sure to use a compound bow that offers a high degree of relief once it is drawn. (75-80 % letoff) Don't be reluctant to get some professional advice from a bow pro at one of the local archery outlets. The guys at H&H are helpful, and King's Pawn at Reno and Sunnylane has some very good folks too. Oklahoma Archery was helpful to me a few years ago when I started shooting a bow. Enjoy! CB [/QUOTE]
