I got into archery cause my friend got my husband and all my other friends hooked. My friend and I happen to be the only lefties in our friend group. Last year, he got a new bow and generously gave me his Bear bow so I could give archery a try.

Starting out was pretty rough. My draw weight was 7-10# and it was hilarious attempting to aim at 45 yard targets. But I got really into it and this summer, I upgraded an Altus with 43# draw! Had to celebrate with a proper group pic at the range.

For anyone new to the hobby and not sure they can do it with their noodle arms, you absolutely can! Just gotta believe and crank that weight up slowly!
