Larger women and boys (125-145 lbs) = 45-55 lbsĪlthough these are average drawing weights, it is important to shoot what is comfortable for you.

If the poundage seems high (it was tough to pull back and hold) lower the draw weight in 2 lb increments until you have found a comfortable draw weight.

If you are comfortable with the poundage and can hold full draw comfortably, the poundage is where you need it. To find your ideal poundage, sit down on a chair or tailgate of a truck and pull your bow back with your feet off the ground. Try not to roll the cam(s) over, but if you do, make sure you keep a good grip when raising the bow back up to take it off the scale… it’ll try to take you for a ride! When using a bow scale, hook the string to the scale’s hook at the nocking point and pull down on your bow’s riser until your bow is at it’s “roll over” spot on the cams and look at the scale for its draw weight. If they are not marked, max out the draw weight and your lowest draw weight will be 10 lbs lighter in most cases. Only attempt to shoot draw weights in the limb’s specified range (50-60 lbs, 60-70 lbs). Repeat this process until you reach your desired draw weight. Next, unscrew both limb bolts one revolution (360°) and check the poundage on a bow scale. Tighten the limb bolts until the limbs are tight to the riser.įirst, raise the drawing weight to its max. The bow will now be at the maximum poundage and maximum draw weight, ATA measurement, and brace height measurement can be verified.

To check to see if a bow is in “spec” (at its specified manufacturer’s measurements) tighten (clockwise) the limb bolts until the limbs are against the riser. If the limb bolts are unscrewed too much, the limb bolt’s threads can come out of the riser and cause damage to the bow and injure the mechanic.Įvery bow’s limbs have a specific draw weight rating: 50-60, 60-70, 70-80, etc. Safety Precaution: Be careful that you do not unscrew the limb bolts passed the bow’s lowest weight setting. To lower the draw weight we unscrew the limb bolts equally on each limb (counterclockwise).
