Hi

WI?
I didn`t want to see if you can pull 140#, I only wanted to see how 84" look like if somebody hold it. Do you have another 84"?

Kind regards

WI -= Wisconsin, a state here in the US, I am assuming you are not from the states. And me pulling an 84" probably looks like a 12 year old... pulling an 84" longbow,  :).
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

I think you are as tall as me (when I look at your other pics), thats why I wanted to see how that looks like.  ;)
