But there are a number of articles, some in living color, regarding
shooting a 100 Lb. pull bow. Most of them seem to be British folk so I
assume that archery is more commonly practiced there then in the U.S.
Perhaps  because English history reaches all the way to the period
when bows and arrows equaled the AR-15 in killing power :-)

YouTube is crammed full of longbow related videos:

Here's a short video of what it takes to shoot a 155 lb longbow:

Here's a longer video featuring the guy in the above video:

I know very little about "fitness" so I found it interesting. However,
it's probably too late for me at age 76.

Wandering around on the Internet the other day I found a post by our
very own Tom dated 2003. Can you imagine it? Nearly a quarter of a
century of being "a  rude and obnoxious, always carping while offering
no useful information." (as described by Jobst Brandt)

"Kunich bore the flame of flaming writers on just about any subject
with no useful contribution to the thread except attempting to
belittle the previous writer."

If you want to dig deeper, here are 437 older posting by Tom from
9/01/1991 to 8/17/1997:

Note that Tom head injury was in late 2009 or early 2010.  The
aforementioned comments were well before he could claim that his
rotten attitude was caused by a brain injury.
