RE: Bow poundage

I started on 38# at 28", and have stayed there. It took me a few weeks to get comfortable with this weight. I used isometric exercises to build the necessary strength -- holding the bow at full draw for 3 seconds 10 times, 5 seconds 6 times, 10 seconds 3 times, etc.

Maybe it's time to move up, now that we're back outdoors and shooting some decent distances.
