tankie,
I couldnt draw one now , the norm for them is 60 pounds to 75 , i would struggle now with 20
Many men in later medieval England were capable of shooting bows from 670–900 N (150–200 pounds)
60 lbs would be a relatively heavy hunting bow, with 40 lbs for normal game and 15-25 lbs for small game.There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov

yeah, you pretty much need to be shooting all your life to pull the 150-200 lb bows, which were warbows in any case. the muscles you need for that are pretty specialized and really can only be gained through the repetitive draw motion.
