Default RE: Practice draw?

Like I said....My only experiences have been:

1) 12 degrees in VA.....blowing snow...and I had on enough clothes to pass for the Michelin man. I found out that day that I didn't need to be pulling 70lbs if I was going to hunt that type of weather, much.

2) 14 degrees and I shot after being on stand for almost5 hours.

I honestly dont care how you achieve what you're trying to achieve. You can do flips on stand if you want to. I honestly don't have any issues with drawing my bow.....and what you do doesn't concern me. I made a suggestion. Take it or leave it.

Kinda like using/not using scent-Lok, ya know

ORIGINAL: TeeJay

You all try heading for the tree in sub zero weather. Sit there for hours on end with 5-10 layers on, and then try to pull back 70 lb bow. Good luck with that. I am 37, and work construction. I am pretty physicly fit. Come on up ill put you out in a tree late in Dec. we will see how you do.
The issue isn't whether or not u work construction and how you deal with the cold. Hell, I work construction too and I'm not doubting that the cold takes a lot out of your body because I know first hand. Butif you have trouble drawing 70lbs in cold weather with all the layers....lower the lbs. I only shoot 60for deer hunting. I've personally never heard of any state having a 70lb requirement so why shoot more than you're capable of shooting comfortably and consistantly
