I am new to compound archery.Shot one last week and did well with it.A friend gave me an old PSE Fire Flite express.So I took it down to my PSE dealer and had him go over it.The cams were good,it got new peep,and loop.The bow has a 75Lb pull as they put it on a machine to measure it.Its a beast.So they tried adjusting it as far as would be safe.My question is this .Are there exercises i can do to strengthen my pull.Im right handed 5 Ft 8" 175 lbs.I workout with weights but this thing is a beast.I stood on the string and pulled the Bow up.It looks like it breaks at about a foot,then becomes easier.I would hate to have this bow get the best of me.

I don't know of too much that will help except practice.  Get a captive release(a release that won't go off - its just a metal hook) and pull, let down, pull, let down.  I just got back into bows after 20 tears away and was really surprised how weak I am.  I am trying to pull 20x per day.  When it gets easier I'll start shooting my new bow.

Just drawing would help greatly, but if you work out, I would try a bench row .

I picked my wife up a set of work out resistance bands.  She is able to hold it like a bow (kinda) and draw back.  It works fairly well.  You can use the bow you already have.  Just try to pull it 15 to 20 per day.  Archery uses muscles that don't get used all the time.  You should be able to pull it back with out a problem in no time at all.  Just stick with it.

I've been hand drawing the string without an arrow (I have a release for actual shooting) on my new bow to build strength, but a captive release sounds like a pretty handy thing. Problem is I can't seem to find captive releases on the dealer websites I've looked at. Is there a company that makes a captive release with a wrist strap?

 

Drawing w/o an arrow is a little concerning to me, one slip and you have damaged a bow. Better off putting an arrow in it and point it in a safe direction when you "work out".

Push ups and chin ups.

Just shoot as much as you can. I am not a strong guy by any means but I can outlast my strongest friends because I shoot a lot.

Definitely, but I live in an apartment, work nights, and the closest range is two hours away. I don't have many convenient options for practicing and I'm hesitant to draw an arrow in my apartment. I know accidents happen, but I hand draw with a full fist and I trust myself not to dry fire.

 

It is suggested to use an arrow without a tip when practice drawing without firing.

If it is accidentally released it won't have enough energy to do much damage but it'll still be heavy enough to prevent damage to the bow.
