Jon, I totally agree with you too :wink: ! I shoot also 50 and 70 pound bows, it is fun and they are real weapons too, especially with sharp modern cutting arrow tips (which I don`t have & need)!
These heavier bows started to interest me as a by-product of my late roman re-enactment hobby and I regularly shoot with different bows of different weight depending on my "mood". It is great to shoot a little target from 20 metres with a lower poundage bow and sometimes it is time to shoot big targets from 100 metres away with a heavy bow. There is no big idea behind it, it is just good clean fun :wink: !
