A little tip an older guy that worked with my dad told him to pass on to me when I got my first bow was if you can’t sit on a 5 gallon bucket with your feet on the ground and draw your bow without pointing it up, you’re pulling too much weight. Took me 6 or 7 years to figure out that old guy was right. Numerous times over my bow hunting career I’ve had deer slip in and not be able to stand, forcing me to take a shot while seated. One of them was one of my biggest bucks.

I haven’t put mine on a scale but I have 70lb limb’s bottomed out. If I ever struggle with my form I will get a bow with 60lb limbs.
All the comments about being able to draw while seated with cold weather gear on are spot on. Practice with your system just like you are hunting.
