What’s you’re draw weight vs Age

47 and 73, no struggles with it as I lift and run 6 days a week I have a 30.5 inch draw and can fling arrows with some reasonable umph. If I have to step back in weight as I age I’m going to still have a long draw to make up performance short comings. It’s the one benefit of long monkey arms

Same setup for indoor league and a few 3d shoots per year. I tease my buddies that shoot "bowhunter" class with target bows @ 50# and fat shafts. I shoot "bowhunter" class with my bowhunting set up- a couple of my axis arrows still have a little blood around the vanes!

Have had Rotator cuff surgery, in which they also did a sub-acrimonial decompression, which created a LOT of looseness in that shoulder.

39/61# I'm a new archer though and have only shot the bow 4 times. Going to stay where it's at for at least a couple months while I work on my form and then I'll bump it up a bit.

55/110…

ok, 55/63

Comfortable to pull back when cold and stiff and from different positions. I was surprised how much dropping just two pounds draw weight affected my comfort level drawing the bow. Many seem to think in increments of 5.

Just got an Athens bow. Feels like I'm pulling 60 coming from my Bear.
