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.

How much draw weight does a recurve bow have?

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.
