Haha, I remember those days. I was pulling 25 lbs, and wanted to hunt baaad. Dad said If I could pull 40 and shoot accurately at whatever distance I was comfortable than I could go. He didn't care if my max yardage was 10 yards as long as I could put a shot in the vitals every time. I went from 25lbs to 45lbs in one summer (: Well that was six-eight years ago. I am 18*
