It appears to me that those archers who can not pull 90+ lbs can find all the reasons in the world not to. Using the theory of why use a 90 lb bow when you get a perfectly dead deer with a 45 lb bow. then, why use anything other than a willow stick, some string and a few hickory arrows tipped with stone heads? The guy may be pulling your leg, but, maybe not. Personally, I have no trouble pulling 90+ lbs after many hours on stand in 10 degree weather, but I also enjoy shooting at 70 lbs (and probably at 10 lbs). Many of the "professional" hunters appear to strain when coming to full draw and that has often puzzled me, but they seem to get the job done. After 40+ years of bow hunting I have come to the conclusion that whatever floats your boat is fine with me as long you are a legal/ethical hunter who can make the shot when the opportunity arrives.
yeaa elk, ive been puzzled by that a few times myself
