Haven't shot a decent bow since I was a teenager, 20yrs ago, because work became priority. Now that I'm retired I have lots of free time so I'm looking to get back into it. Unfortunately I live very remote, fly in fly out, so I don't have the opportunity to try anything at the moment. Minimum draw weight for big game is 50 pounds here so I want at least that. I know starting too heavy is a big problem so how can I determine my draw weight without a bow to try? I figured there would be some sort of dumbell row test (for people in my situation) to determine draw weight but couldn't find anything like that. I have access to free weights if anyone knows a way for me to test.
I'm intending to purchase a recurve to use for a short time because that's where my limited experience lies. I would like to get a buy once cry once compound bow in the near future. Problem is there are no bow shops here so what tools would I need to work on a compound bow? I have zero experience with a compound bow other than a 30 lb youth bow I bought for my Son so if its too much fooling around I'll stay with a stick bow. Appreciate your help, thanks!
