I totally agree. I can shoot a 66# bow with success and I am able of pulling 96#. I only pulled the bow and didn't release because the lack of a proper arrow.
And I don't do war bows. The bow was in Trondheim Norway in a medieval festival. I guess it was 105# and there was a competition that who could draw it. I can remember the feeling when I pulled and then some really buff guy came and said in Noweidgean "if HE get's that close I'll win" well, he pulled 85#  :D And there's no way I'm buff.
