Yep, those targets works very well. The bow is maxed out at 42#
Fuck me haha. And here i am shaking with my 30 pounder haha
I dont use a compound bow though
I used to shoot a 65#, but at my age it is starting to mess up my shoulders and I struggle to draw back properly more than 30 arrows or so. The 42 is a joy to shoot, I can shoot all day!
You can usually draw a significantly heavier compound than recurve or longbow, because the weight drops off when the bow is fully drawn.
I would say that most regular adults would be able to draw a 42# compound with no prior training.
