I've seen many adult males and athletic, teenagers who COULD NOT pull back my compound bows when set at 70+lbs.
The best ones were the kids who had their girlfriend there and they couldn't pull it, then "old man" Phil does it, no problem.
At 50 yrs old, 70lbs isn't as easy as it was, but I can pull it easily.
Have not tried to lie down and try it (why?), but sitting.. hell ya! Multiple times.
70 lbs because... I can? Wrist strap releases are the key.
Hey, Ted Nugent kills everything with a 50Lb bow but he is now 63 I think? I've seen him get some piss-poor penetration on many of his shots, but he still gets his deer.
Pulling 70 lbs is the only way I can keep my older bows and have them fast enough for me.
2004 Mathews Legacy and IBO was 308. I want some speed and power, thats all. It's cheaper than a new bow.
