I don't wear one but looks like a low brace height on that LB.
One of my Korean bows was about 5.5" & I would get slapped if I didn't hold & follow thru correctly. I soon learned which way my elbow had to point
It's ironic I would get slapped at all as I can't fully straighten my left arm due to a previous dislocated elbow.“The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.”

I shoot and have many styles of bows. My favorite for a long time has been the Olympic recurve style. I haven't shot my compound since last deer season. Originally Posted by nessmuck

What the pull weight at anchor with that Olympic bow ? Iam guessing 40 lbs...something you can shoot all day. Originally Posted by 32t

Wouldn't hurt to train up to it with a lighter bow for a short time. Originally Posted by nessmuck

According to that old saying you got some catching up to do

Hopefully your not trying to hold your draw, while taking aim. Long bows are a draw and release, kinda thing.
Holding the draw on a long bow will tear you up, eventually. As said, a lighter bow might be beneficial to building your muscle memory.Mike
