How heavy a draw weight should a man shoot ?
« on: May 06, 2013, 05:15:00 PM »
One day the Knights of The Round Table were discussing how heavy a draw weight a man should shoot .

 Sir Galahad said " It should be 60 pounds " .

 Sir Lancelot said " No less than 80 pounds " .

 As they bickered they finally asked Precious  who replied

 " I find that anything over 20 pounds blows up my rubber tips ! "

I think she needs to get new rubber tips. My rubber blunts hold up well to 50#. But they don't stick well on the tin target plates   :(
