What is the most common draw weight your customers request?  If you've been doing this for awhile, have you seen the average weight requested change over time?

Thanks

45# - 50#

Two weights are very popular #35 for teens and some women and #45-50 for almost everybody else. I don't build heavier than #50 except "at request". Bob

Fifty seems most popular these days.  I remember years back if it were under sixty pounds it was thought to be to light.  Time change, I guess.

The majority of hunters are ordering upper 40's to mid 50's.... target shooters 45#  and women 30-35#'s

I've watched the draw weight requests drop over the years.  Used to make a lot of bows in the 60-70# range, even made a few in the 80's and 90's.   Now most are in the 50-60# range.

I'll sell 5 42#ers to 1 52#er.  Chad

Average is just under 50. Lot of orders of specific weights of around 47 to 49 lb.
i can remember when almost all bows were in this weight range and then guys started going for the heavy stuff. Now back down to weights that they can shoot a lot and really enjoy.;

God bless, Steve

Sounds like we're all giving the same answers.

Not a bowyer but I did stay at a holiday inn express.
I just never could shoot under 50# worth a darn.  Most guys I know shoot 45-55 lbs.  With the abundance of custom bowyers I am seeing guys order things at weights like 52# instead of the old five pound increments.
