Start low, and build back up.. if you can afford it, look towards one of the modern bows with the higher letoff, get increidible speed at lower poundages.
I see no reason to shoot 70lbs with a modern bow.. you are just asking for trouple.. I have seen too many archers with bad shoulders because of the high weights... Also, stretch out before shooting and shoot as much as you can to get the mucles that you use for nothing else in shape.

Always wondered what the deal was with letoff on the bows. Unfortunately I have a 25 and a 35lb recurve, but since I gave my brother my 50lb bear back when I messed up my shoulder this will be the only compound I have to play with. They 35lber gives me no trouble so I am hoping everything will work out. If I could afford to buy a 40, or 45 I would, but the boy from my buddy is his old used one that is in great shape and I am getting a fantastic deal on it.
