Ways to tell your draw weight is to much?

I was just curious about how to tell if your draw weight is to much and needs to be lowered. Thanks!

 

Not being able to comfortably draw your bow while it remains pointed at your intended target.

 

Feels like your shoulder is about tear every muscle in it. But, I shot 65 but could only shoot it about 10 times a day to practice turned it down to 60 with my new bow and can shoot it all day. 5 pounds made the difference for me.

 

No contortions of the body while holding the bow on target and drawing straight back. Also having the ability to hold steady (relaxed figure 8 float) on the target while at full draw throughout the entire shot sequence (no case of the shakes, no rushing the shot).

 

When you s*** yourself. Just kidding.

 

Control is the biggest issue, if you can pull back without struggle, keep good posture and hold without shaking for a period of time, then your weight should be alright. You want a comfortable weight, you don't need to max the bow out and bragg to everyone because then the truth comes out when you go to shoot and your all over the place. You want to be in control and consistant!

 

Like the others have mentioned. If you lose form and struggle to draw your bow, the draw weight is too much.

 

Or if you poop when your pulling as was pointed out before!:D

 

I was told to sit down, feet straight out in front of you. Holding your bow straight out & arm level, draw back without having raise it up or anything.

 

Same thing as rybo but with legs crossed indian style.

 

A j said poop! lol

 

Yep! Years ago as a kid I always laughed to myself at league when adults were raising their bows up to get them back. I always thought, your going to get busted In the tree one of these times.

 

Easy bear don't poop yourself! lmao..........
