I’m surprised a girl can even pull an 80+ lb bow

The bow in the pic is a compound. It has a system of pulleys that aid in the pull. While the initial little bit is at 85#, it quickly ramps off to a much more managable "full draw" weight.

She still has to pull the bow past the 80 lbs. Most men could not pull an 80 lb. bow, compound or otherwise.

I know that. I’m a JOAD coach. I’m just not used to girls pulling that many lbs, although she’s not an especially young girl.
