Love it! In my day I could shoot 80+ but nowhere close to 150#....Love to see you with a full draw pic  :goldtooth:

I'll video my 'attempt' to draw it. I have a 120lb hill to the same design which is a little more achievable.

Well, we're up to 28. Anyone else want to jump in and help?  :thumbsup:

Nope. In my world 158lb is a foot bow.

Not the exact same bow but this is a still from a video I took of shooting one.

The profile is very rounded, perhaps more so that you would normally go on a Hill bow. For reference it's about 17mm depth about 5/8".

Judging by the wind direction and the angle of the sun, I would say he is shooting at Kings Lynn, Suffolk  :biglaugh:

Pulling heavyweight bows like that is all in the form I'm told.  I was never able to master it, but I have seen people try it and be successful.
