I recently bought a Buck Trail Leopard field bow with a draw weight of 55lb. The bow 5lb heavier than the English longbow I normally shoot with, and I'm finding it hard to draw back to a consistent anchor point.
Is there a way of reducing the draw weight until I get used to it?
All I can think of is to get a slightly longer bowstring (the bow is 62") and gradually add twists to it. This would have a knock-on effect on the bracing height (which might entail problems) but apart from that, is there anything else I should consider?
