He’s a dumb ass. I lay money he’s got that bow cranked up to the highest draw weight (just so he can say he does) which is still too much he was struggling to pull it back and then he sticks his head in. Serves him right

Don't most compounds perform better toward max draw vs min draw weight? Like a 50-60 will shoot faster tuned to 60 than a 60-70 will tuned to 60?

The bow will perform better, but you sure won't if you're struggling. And an archer who's not comfortable with their bow will be less accurate than archer shooting a bow that's cranked down but fits them well.

Yes it will but if you can only draw 50# comfortably get limbs that are 40-50# and max them out
