I seen someone else did a post on draw weight vs age, and thought it'd be interesting to see what everyone's body weight vs your draw weight is.

Mine is somewhere around 95lbs body and 55# draw.

I have always pulled 70. When I bought my first bow in high school and weighed 160 I am sure it was more of a chore. I could comfortably pull more now, but after you get your setup dialed it doesn’t seem worth it to change. With my maxed out draw length, I would rather age into my current draw weight rather than hurt myself or drop it down once I am ready for the glue factory.

66lb @ 143bw. Was shooting 72 and dropped to work on form, decide and commit to what release I want to stick with, and enjoy shooting longer before fatiguing. Hopefully will be able to shoot 70+ as well as I do 66 now eventually,

220lbs, 73lb, also shot 73lbs when I weighed 170lbs and it was probably easier back then since I was 20 years younger.

I don't know what I weigh at this point, but I have never weighed over 160. I shot 84lbs for years when I was around 155, I'm old now and shoot 62lbs.
