I am curious if there is someone here who knows what the para recurve archers draw on average to reach 70m.
My reason for asking is that I have no one to ask over here. I usually get qualified guesses and the most recent is that I need at least a 40# bow to comfortably reach 70m at my DL 23". I have a weaker left side due to Cerebral Palsy and thus I have some doubts that I will pull this of physically in the long run.
When watching clips of the para recurve teams compared to the non para recurvers it seems that the para archers' arrows are more sensitive to wind. Could this mean that they are pulling lower weights in general?
I don't know if I'm grasping at straws here to find excuses not to build up my strength to be able to draw that 40# or more bow to compete at international level, but any facts you can give me will be helpful as I feel a bit lost. I need a goal to strive for, but it has to be a reasonable one.
