Your best bet is to go to a shop and have it scaled. You can also find specific draw scales on-line that measure draw weight and full-draw holding weight. I used to use a hanging scale to check weight by hanging scale and hooking the string loop into the hook and puching the bow down to the floor. This isn't safe though. If you shoot enough you will be able to get a ballpark figure of draw weight.

If you can't hold your bow still at full draw for more than 8-10 seconds, youre drawing too much weight. You can use a lighter arrow and decrease poundage without sacrificing speed (you will lose kenitic energy)

Usually, there are bolts on the top and bottom of the bow, and IF you are confident, you would turn it half a turn and try it. Righty Tighty Lefty Loosey. Depending on how much more weight you want when you pull back, a full turn would work too. But, I wouldn't try to go more than one and a half turns... If you aren't confident with doing this (taking into consideration that you could mess up badly if not careful and break that precious bow) then you could ask your coach who would probably know! Hope I helped! ;)

Measure your arm span from fingertip to fingertip and divide by 2.5. This will give your draw length for a compound bow.
