Hi all,
I'm both new to this forum and new to bow hunting. My wonderful husband bought me a Parker Wildfire XP left-handed bow Saturday. It's absolutely gorgeous,a nd I love holding it. The draw weigth is set to 54 #. I can only pull it just less than halfway back, then I lose it. I'm 5 foot 4 in. and about 125 lbs...It's really frustrating becuase I'm afraid if I can't do it on the ground, how will I pull it back in the stand? I lift weights about 4 times per week, but question whether I'm going to be able to do this all the time!
My husband said it takes a lot of time to learn build strength and be able to pull back, but I can't help but have some doubt. Help! Sure, Tiff Lakosky, who is about my size, can pull back 54 #, but she's been doing it for awhile, LOL. Am I just "being a sissy" as he says, or is this something I should really investigate further?
