2 to 3 lbs maybe less but not more than 3
3-4 lbs
bow much does a 1997 sesan deville weight
The initial phase of drawing is hard until the let off phase of the bow comes into operation making it easier. When the bow is at full draw the holding weight will be much less than the weight delivered to the arrow. The gain in mechanical advantage when drawin and holding the bow is due to the pulleys or cams used in the bow.
like 170
Depends on bow much it eats
Your best bet is to go to a shop and have it scaled. You can also find specific draw scales on-line that measure draw weight and full-draw holding weight. I used to use a hanging scale to check weight by hanging scale and hooking the string loop into the hook and puching the bow down to the floor. This isn't safe though. If you shoot enough you will be able to get a ballpark figure of draw weight. If you can't hold your bow still at full draw for more than 8-10 seconds, youre drawing too much weight. You can use a lighter arrow and decrease poundage without sacrificing speed (you will lose kenitic energy)
the draw weight is how much strength it takes to pull it back which is equal to how much force is put into the arrow. so basically pulling back a 50 lb draw weight bow is equally as hard as lifting a 50 lb sack with one arm
Mathews SoloCam bows have 10 pound weight reduction range from your Bow's peak weight (example : if your bow has peak weight of 70 pounds, you can adjust it as low as 60 pounds).Draw weight adjustments are made using either a 3/16" or 7/32" Allen wrench. Turn the limb bolt clockwise to increase the draw weight and counterclockwise to decrease the weight. Each rotation is equivalent to 2 to 4 pounds of draw weight. It is very important to adjust the limb bolts equally but do not exceed 5 full turns out from maximum draw weight.
when you have let off on your bow, when you pull it back depending on the bow you will have anywhere from 50% to 80% let off, which means if your bow is a 70 lbs pull draw weight and you have 50% let off then you are only holding 35% of the draw weight. now if your bow has 80% let off then your holding only like 18 20 24 % of the draw weight.
BOW is Bill Of Work
"Let off" applies to compound bows and it is the percentage that the draw weight of the bow is reduced by once it is at full draw.
I know someone that pulls about 40 and kills deer it's not that much
