Title: Draw weight calculation?
Post by: richbat on April 07, 2011, 12:14:00 PM
I hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question but i have a Black Widow PMA2 60# @28 but my draw length is roughly around 27-27 1/2'' how many pounds am i actually drawing?

A general rule of thumb is reduce draw weight by 3#s per inch.  So you sould be pulling ABOUT 57#s. But to make sure, you could take it to a bow shop and he can check it.

Widow claims 2.5# per inch. But 3# will get you close enough.
