For a Olympic style bow, that is to say, a recurve bow, no. There is no limitation under FITA or NAA rules. However, for a compound bow (which is not permitted in the Olympics), there may be a limit depending on the governing body.

80 pounds is a very low draw weight for a crossbow and a very high draw weight for a standard bow
The answer to that question will change depending on what type of recurve bow and for what purpose you will be shooting. For example, if you are hunting and are planning to kill a large animal, you will likely want a recurve bow with over 50lbs of draw weight. If you shoot with less weight than this, you may only injure the animal and that would be cruel. Bows with over 50lbs of draw weight are more difficult to pull back and hold steady, therefore the accuracy of your aim will be reduced. If on the other hand you want to shoot targets and need to be as accurate as possible, such as in a field archery competition, you will want a draw weight that is under 50lbs. In fact 30 - 40lbs would be a likely choice. This will allow you to hold more steady on the draw and line up your target. The lower weight will be acceptable as all you need to do is reach your target, not kill it. Please note, this is in regard to recurve bows only, not compound. That's a whole other world.
yes. it weakens the limbs and reduces draw weight. best to unstring the bow while in storage.
3-4 lbs
Draw is another term for tie ... the athletes would have tied in whatever competition they were in.
"The bow's draw weight is around 22 kilograms (48 pounds) for men, and over 17 kg (38 lbs.) for women. The bow consists of a riser and two limbs." -- olympic.org/archery-equipment-and-history
30" is not a draw weight, it is a draw length. It is the length of the draw from the bow to the string when the bow is drawn.
just go on a website
The draw for the preliminaries will take place on 24 April 2012.
Draw weight is the power the arrow is loosed at. Bows with more draw weight like long bows require very strong people to handle. The better the draw weight the further/harder the arrow flies eg: Arrows peircing chainmail... Hope this was the answere you were looking for. Enjoy...

The draw weight should be marked on the bow. You cannot go any higher than the marked draw weight unless your bow has removable limbs, then you could buy limbs with a higher draw weight. You will ruin the bow if you use it with a higher draw rate.
draw a head body hands and legs:)i hope i have helped!!d:
"Draw weight" is a measure of the strength required to draw a bow as well as the force it imparts on the arrows it shoots. It is usually measured in pounds.
