Being a member of the ole xarts club I can relate. Would suggest that you start off at 40 or lbs of draw weight and work you way up to a comfortable draw. I hunt with these younins that have their bows set a 70 lbs and I have no idea how they even pull them back. When I went back to archery I started at 45 lbs worked my way to 60 and back down to 55 lbs where Iam today. I have the normal aches and pains plus damaged my right arm last year so I find that 55 is about right for me. Just took it easy and allowed the muscles to tone as I shot.
