"spindly arms". I was only joking!

I think I will visit my brother-in-law and try out his target bows for weight. And use that as a guide to see what sort of weight to start with.

Just checked my High School target recurve. It is 40 lbs and I don't have any trouble with that at all.

So are you recommending to start with a compound around 65 lbs and just work at it and practice?
