3-4 lbs
Anywhere between 40 and 200 pounds.
the draw weight is how much strength it takes to pull it back which is equal to how much force is put into the arrow. so basically pulling back a 50 lb draw weight bow is equally as hard as lifting a 50 lb sack with one arm
Mathews SoloCam bows have 10 pound weight reduction range from your Bow's peak weight (example : if your bow has peak weight of 70 pounds, you can adjust it as low as 60 pounds).Draw weight adjustments are made using either a 3/16" or 7/32" Allen wrench. Turn the limb bolt clockwise to increase the draw weight and counterclockwise to decrease the weight. Each rotation is equivalent to 2 to 4 pounds of draw weight. It is very important to adjust the limb bolts equally but do not exceed 5 full turns out from maximum draw weight.
150 lbs is 150 pounds of draw weight, in a bow I would say that you'd need a brear of a person to wield it. Fortunately, it is a crossbow you are talking about, but that is still too much for a child to draw. Try using a bow with less draw weight and let them build up strength so they can use a stronger crossbow when they are older.
You are shooting a 43 draw weight? I would say you are going to drop pretty significant after about 30 yds compared to a higher draw weight. Since the broadhead is only 125, it won't drop too much from a good 15 to 20 yds. Try shooting a little bit with a few different grained broadheads. See if you have a consistant shot group with at least 3 different grains. That should give you a general idea of how much your drop will be with that 125. Only way I know for you to determine it! anonymous You are shooting a 43 draw weight? I would say you are going to drop pretty significant after about 30 yds compared to a higher draw weight.

70 lb draw weight is a high up there in draw weight, pretty much anything in north America can be hunted. a good shot is key to any bow hunt
Your arrow should match the draw weight. In your case the "spine" or stiffness will be too much. Assuming the arrow was matched to begin with.
Anywhere between 40 and 200 pounds.

I assume you are talking about archery. Around 45 pounds of draw weight would be a minimum of what you should hunt with. I use 60 lbs. The arrow flies flatter and has a faster travel the more weight you shoot. Just don't turn it up too much or you won't be able to pull it back at the moment of truth!

I use a 55 pound. In Ohio it is illegal to hunt deer with less than 40 or 45 (I don't remember.)
Choke, in car terms, is adjusting how much air flows into the engine.
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.
