My son went from 45 lb draw weight to 65 lbs in under a month. He now has it turned back to 60 lbs, simply because he is a lot more accurate at the draw weight.

But remember, we both shoot at least 10 arrows a day, rain or shine. Once you build the muscles up that are required to shoot your bow, you will become more accurate with less stress.


Well said.

I joined bow hunting 2 years ago, even at 6'2" and 200 pounds at the very beginning I found it very difficult to shoot 70lb draw more than 8 or 10 times in a row. After about 2 months of shooting I was shooting 70lb draw 30 times a night with ease. It's amazing how fast those muscles learn...

I now have my bow set at 67 pounds as it shoots best there....
