And worthy of some effort. There are some training aids available to build up draw strength. I wouldn't shave that bow down for anything. I do a standing cable row that mimics a drawing motion. Start light to get the form for a few weeks and incrementally add weight. Do plenty of opposition work all around. I bet you would have it inside 8 weeks.
At the very least you could pick up a resistance band or two for 30 bucks. In the time it would take a bowyer to work on it and for less cost you could build up to it. Take your time.

Great tips. We also would do isometrics when pressed for time. Just interlock your hands in front of your chest and pull against each other. Another good one is pushups. Start out with 5 if that's all you can do and keep doing a few more every other day. It will give you all the muscle you need for archery.
