I’m surprised a girl can even pull an 80+ lb bow
‘Im surprised a girl can even pull an 80+ lb bow’
Look at her arms. She didn’t just come from the prom.
Read about English long bow archers in the fifteenth century. Their bows had a draw weight of about 160 lb., about twice the draw weight of this woman’s bow. Each had to be able to fire at least ten arrows per minute.
The bow in the pic is a compound. It has a system of pulleys that aid in the pull. While the initial little bit is at 85#, it quickly ramps off to a much more managable "full draw" weight.
