    You really need both upper body strength and control, but consider something like a medieval longbow with 500 N of draw force (for example). You’d need to build muscle specifically for the movement required by the weapon. Longbowmen exterted enough strain on their arms and fingers that you can tell their skeletons apart from other soldiers.
