You don't need to be large to shoot a heavy bow. Just need the strength it requires.

Some of yall may remember..before my time im afraid..but..when trad made its big push from the late 70’s to the 90’s..most dudes shot 60-80lb recurves and long bows..an alot of guys shot 80-120lb compounds..my brother was shootining 82lbs on a pse in about 1999. 100lbs is alot…but a good many folks used to think it was necessary….they make bows up to 250 or 300lbs..it takes a heck of a man to draw one back..more for looks than anything

The weight range on it was 75-95 pounds. I kept it set on 85 most of the time. I shot it every day, usually for a couple hours. One day AMB and myself were at Snead St shooting bows in the parking lot and he noticed how far down the limbs could still go. We went to a bow shop long ago gone, in Boaz and bottomed it out. IIRC, I think it pulled either 110 or 120 lbs on the scales at the shop. Maybe he'll see this and remember. We took it back to school and shot it a few times. Even with that, I couldn't have shot a 100 lb recurve then, nor now.

I killed enough deer to fill up a couple construction dumpsters with a switchback pulling 60lbs. I don't see the point in it but good luck with your search
We will burn that bridge when we get there
