So yesterday when I took my eldest to archery class ( Sofia loves archery since she saw Hunger games), I asked the guy there if they have any serious bows, with heavy draw weights and he gave me a 75 and 100lb bow.
So I did what any red-blooded Portuguese- Canadian MA with an attitude would do, spend half n hour shooting like an englishman !!
LOL !
Observations:
Not as hard as I thought and it got easier as time went by as I a got some pointers about drawing big bows ( push and pull, not just pull for example).
Accuracy was not as good simply because, as I was told, this is not the type of bow you draw and HOLD while aiming. The analogy of a shotgun VS a rifle is good:
You AIM a rifle but you POINT a shotgun.
Now, I am a strong boy as most of you know but truth be told, technique was more important.
In short, drawing a 100lbs bow is NOT a big deal and you can draw and shoot for 30 min with no problem, though not at the rate as you would with a lighter draw weight of course.

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
