Which Draw Weight is best for Me? FAQ

what's up everybody three minute Friday [Music] like this maximum information in the shortest amount of time let's get this done today we talk about what's the right poundage for me you could want to start archery and it's eight to twelve years old get one of these bows they have 15 pounds they're just fine for almost every kid 4 depends how they grow it's a 15 pound ball easy peasy it's cheap your kid will have fun it's not too heavy easy to use adults we start here with 20 to 26 pounds neck balls for adults because even these bowls sometimes you see them standing there and already struggling because they are not used to it you will use your muscles in a different way so don't overdo it they normally people are already tense when they were near sometimes I stand they are tense and everything they pool isn't already too heavy or they don't reach food raw or whatever simply go with the low draw weight bow China ancient China they say when you're able to pull a 60 pound bow practice with a 30 pound bow so take half of it if you're capable but don't use it as your training item you will ruin your technique you know when the bows too heavy and your shoulders come up and you can't hold it how can you develop a proper form seriously adults when you start go for a thirty pound bow maximum get your technique done get your shoulders down you know reach fold row easy and relaxed and you know make sure that you use your back to engine and everything it's easier to practice with a lowered robocode and when you go directly for what you are capable of doing and the easiest way we do it here somebody wants to buy a bow okay you want to shoot 50 pounds good then go there and now standing foot will drop for 10 seconds without shaking 1 2 3 then you see him 6 seconds he stands like this and then you know the pole is too heavy for you so when you're not able to stand 10 seconds and fold row without checking the bow is too heavy for your practice don't do that you will not be happy and then of course we have not many they're inspired now by the videos of thumb release and they want to start thumb release and you know shoot since 15 years Mediterranean I showed a 50 pound recurve and now I get a 50 pound horsepower because I start on release don't do that 50 pounds on three fingers different technique 50 pounds on one finger different technique don't do it you are used to one thing but it doesn't mean that the applies to a complete different shooting technique you have all the poundage on one thing and this finger is not used to it these four fingers got used it over time but even when you think back when you started archery you didn't start with a 50 pound bow right no you start families it's something different start low again get a maximum 30 pound then then your sound will get used to it your body will get used to it the the posture is slightly different you should a little different you know there are slight alignments and even worse because you shoot already Mediterranean switching to the other shooting style might be a little tricky because you fall always in your bad habits and when the bow is too heavy even more likely you fall into your bad habits when it's an easy bow to draw then it's easy for you to realize oh wait and what is my shoulder doing and where am i there it's easier let's pose 70 $80 get one of this 30 pounds it's fun to shoot snappy fun first day we can practice all your thumb release stuff and then later on once your thumb got used to it and your muscle memory spirit I think go for something heavier but don't do it in the beginning don't overdo it so I hope that was helpful thank you very much for watching catch you in the next one you
