Am I too fat to use a bow ???

[Dan Simper]

I love archery, but I'm weighing 450 pounds now and my fat makes
shooting arrows impossible.

What can I do now?

Maybe you could work on that army of killer robots instead.

I apologize for my ridiculing of overweight people. I recognize the
value of overweight citizens to our society. I actually weigh 129
pounds, as it were.

If you cannot use even a composite bow, I suggest you try a crossbow.

Kudos for trying, and welcome to archery. I guess the obvious answer is to
lay off the gravy. You're dangerously overweight, Brother.
I've seen a few heavy people use bows, you can do it. Get some instruction,
and getting out and active will help you immensely. Also, try some 3D
shoots. Clubs set up full-size targets in the woods or fields, and you hike
around and shoot whatever range they give you. Great fun, good practice, and
wonderful exercise.
Get up and try it, and good luck to you.
