Title: Ratio between weight and draw length?
Post by: Jon Shade on February 19, 2010, 10:57:00 AM
I'm currently looking to buy a used bow that is 55#s @ 30 inches. I figured 3#s off for every inch under 30. So, am I right in thinking it will be around 49#s @ 28"? Thanks in advance! Jon

That should be really close.

That should be very close on a well made bow.
