Beginner confused with Compound Bow

Hi All, I've had a very basic fibreglass bow for a couple of years, and shot at targets in my big garden, up to 40 yards. I decided to get a compound bow, so got one on eBay second hand. It's a PSE Nova. I just tried firing a few arrows and was really surprised by the action of the bow. As I draw back I feel the tension, then it sort of collapses and I can hold it back at full draw without any real effort. Is that how it should be?

Then, on loosing, the bow seems to be not very powerful at all, yet it is a 30-40lb draw weight. I am guessing that I am doing something wrong, but as you can tell, I don't know what I am doing

Any help for this newbie would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Hanno.
