    I also have been trying out archery, 120 lb draw weight long bow. Hard to pull back, but man do those arrows fly.

    I also shoot a long bow (a modern flat one), but it has only 35lbs (45 the way I draw it, I have long arms).
    120lbs is brutal. Everything above ~70 is considered harmful for your back if done regularly.
    But those strong bows surely have a lot of force, it is kinda cool. :)

    I haven't shot anything under 80 lbs, but I just use my friends bows, will have to try something lighter.

    If you are used to it 80 or 90 is OK, but it is recommended to start at around 25-35 and increase strength over a year or two if you shoot once or twice every week.
    The other advantage of lighter bows is that you can shoot for half an hour or an hour, or even longer, and still don't have arms that hurt like hell. :D
    and if you shoot at targets that are 20-30m away you can still shoot pretty straight. With bows weaker than 20lbs you really notice that you have to aim differently.

    Sometimes you leave an axe laying around the place, sometimes you don't bother getting out of the clown chopper to do the dirty work, laziness really!
