new video of me shooting

Pat B:
Noel, it looked to me that your bottom limb was doing most of the work. The top limb hardly bending at all. It is hard to see while you are in motion.

fishfinder401:
pat, i just took a clearer picture, and you are right, a little to much bend in the bottom, thanks for catching that

fishfinder401:
ok, i used my bathroom scale to get an idea of the weight and after re tillering, its about 140@32i couldn't get the best reading, as it was an old bathroom scale, and i only got it down to about 18 inches, but from the pattern i saw, that's about the weight
( i just actually did it out using a graphing program with more data points i got, and it came out to be more like 150ish, give or take a few pounds) i really need a proper scale :-[

Ian.:
Noel, I say this, and I don't want to cause any offence as you seem like a nice chap; but I very much doubt that you are pulling anything even near that weight. I don't want to knock your enthusiasm because I was exactly the same when I was your age. You have your whole life ahead of you, don't think that you need to impresses us with large numbers. Better to do a little well, than a great deal badly.

one thing that might make this a little more believable, is i did measure the length i am drawing, and it is only about 29ish, which according to the data i found would be about 130, so i am not yet drawing the full 150, and i agree this is a little abnormal for my age, but from what i understand, i am the strongest person in my class and have been as long as i can remember, and in 8th grade, i was able to bench 250lbs( i truly don't mean this as a type of bragging, im just giving the facts i have to help you get a better understanding of me) but one thing i have to admit, is am currently hitting a wall at the 29, 29.5 inch mark, and it feels like it will take a while to overcome that wall, im not planning on being able to master this bow for at least a year, i also have a few slightly lighter bows in the planning stages i will use to help train with. don't worry, i don't take offence to what you are saying, as i agree, without witnessing me do it, thi is a little hard to believe, i hope someday to be able shoot with you and show you that what i am saying is true. one other thing, i looked at different people shooting on youtube, and i see what you mean about different body types drawing it back differently so i tried both, and i did seem to favor one more than the other, my troubles came from the last two inches where you finish locking your arm back( if that makes sense)
thanks for the tips
noel
