Can’t really pet them, they (these ones, anyway) are quite docile but can be dangerous if you’re not careful. They’re very strong, and to be honest not really good to pet because the hair is coarse and hard.
I used to shoot a 65#, but at my age it is starting to mess up my shoulders and I struggle to draw back properly more than 30 arrows or so. The 42 is a joy to shoot, I can shoot all day!
I kinda like it. I’m cautiously optimistic.
