[QUOTE="StrutNut, post: 1090646, member: 88257"] How I trained my son was to shoot at a lower poundage. Shoot until you are getting a little wobbly than quit right away. Dont over push it or bad habits might develop. Do several shootings per day and slowly work your way up. We also hold full draw for a minute than settle and shoot. Muscle memory will start to kick in and make things easier. I even pull my bow pack every time I get on stand or start on ground just to get the muscles going. It really helps in colder weather. You have a bit of time before fall so just keep working at a comfortable draw weight and work your way up to the poundage you desire. I hope this helps as it is what has worked for my son and I. I am still holding strong at 65 lbs and my 14 year old has worked his way up to 50. Just dont over do it. I have found its better to shoot many sessions daily than one long session. [/QUOTE]
