I've just received my 100lb medieval WARBOW / LONGBOW, but can I pull it back and is it really 100lb? because some people have accused me of lying about my 70lb bow. I've also been practicing speed shooting and achieve a new personal best thanks to shooting on the right side, or outside, of the bow.

Some people say you cannot shoot a warbow as accurately on the right side of the bow, or outside of the bow, compared to the left side, or inside.
