This really is the best advice.

The only other advice I would give you is Do not assume because you can draw 28lb on a recurve you hcan shoot a 70lb bow with high let off. Firstly depending upon where you want to shoot, the max poundage allowed by GNAS is 60lbs. Secondly depending upon the cam design you may not be able to get past the peak and even if you do your "form" and the amount you end up torquing the bow to acheive it will be awful.

Like you Im not so strong I can comfortable shoot 32lb recurve (34lbs at a push). But the max compound I have comfortable draw is 53lbs and the one occassion I tried drawing a 60lb with hard cams I felt that I was going to dislocate my elbow joint.
