Title: Widow 69 T- 600
Post by: triumph on February 11, 2017, 07:29:00 AM
Looking at a 69 t-600 as a first recurve bow
Specs are 67 32#s@28. Anyone familiar with this bow.
Thanks

Not familiar with the bow, but draw weight will be about mid 50s at 28 inches.  That's a lot for one's first trad bow.  Of course, if you've been shooting that weight with a longbow and this is just a switch to a recurve, shouldn't be a problem.

How can the draw weight be mid 50's at 28", When the specs show 32#@28?
Sounds like a good bow to start out with, and learn form from.

Don't no where the 50#s came from. Specs as said are 32@28. Been shooting compounds and figured this would be a great start. Thanks Guys.

Great bow and weight to start off with. 32#@28" = 50#@28" do the math. :-)

Oops.  Could have sworn I saw 67#@32 inches, which would be about mid-50s at 28 inches.
