Ok, so I'm sure this is a really stupid question but it's something that I'm a bit confused with. I'm looking at buying my first bow and understand that to learn good form you start with a lighter draw weight. My question is when buying your first bow (I'm looking at the PSE EVO NXT 31) they come with 50, 60, 65, 70, lbs draw weights. Am I better off buying the 70lbs bow and decrease the draw weight so I can work my way back to 70lbs or do I buy the 50lbs bow and increase the weight as I improve? Is there a difference? Thanks and sorry in advance if this was In another thread, I did a quick search and couldn't find this specific question. Cheers.
That would depend on you. Do you expect to increase your DW through strength training? If that's the case then you can go 70 and turn down. But be true to yourself. If you won't train then get a bow that you can pull back SLOWLY. Don't get wrapped up in draw weight. Shot placement is more important.
Justin, that is an excellent question. Me? I would opt for the lower DW and work up. Youtube has a bunch of exercises to build strength for DW. Let me mention my father's saying- The only dumb question is the one not asked.
