Hahahaha all you guys are posting tiny body masses. For the past year I've been 280lbs and pulling 70lbs. I would pull more but my bow shoots over 280fps when I do and I try to avoid that. However, I've pulled 70lbs since I was in high school and was a skinny 220lbs. For reference, my ideal weight is 230-240lbs.

I could pull 70 when I weighed 120lbs in high school. Maybe you need some protein powder.

232# @6'4. been pulling the same bow weight since 10th grade which was almost 25 years ago

[Rob2d]

185lbs shooting 83lbs hunting bow but 65ish is the most enjoyable for just target shooting.

But my son is 73lbs/pulling 41lbs. I bet his ratio will be toward the top. Tough little bugger
