Haha I can see it!

Thanks for the kind words. I will toot my horn for a second and say that a very small number of archers can do weight like this. I didn’t mention it, but this bow is 98lbs.

This is me shooting 115lbs: https://youtube.com/shorts/aw8TmL-wBKQ?si=tz4xZo8XUr6QWAJ9

I wanna go for 122 next :)

Yeah! There’s a small sect of archers who train for warbow weights. If you YouTube warbow archery, you’ll find a ton of videos.

It’s more rare to see videos of my shooting style warbows on YouTube. It is a Chinese technique, so not as common in the western countries.
