Yes, you can reduce the draw weight on your bow by twenty pounds, but this typically depends on the type of bow you have. Compound bows often have adjustable draw weights, allowing you to make such changes easily by adjusting the limb bolts. However, traditional and recurve bows usually have fixed draw weights, and reducing the weight significantly may require altering the bow or using a different bow altogether. Always consult your bow's manufacturer guidelines for safe adjustments.
"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.
the average Draw weight for deer, turcky and hog is between 60 and 70 lb
80 pounds is a very low draw weight for a crossbow and a very high draw weight for a standard bow
The lowest draw weight on a bow, that I've heard of is about 55 pounds. But I've heard of people killing deer with a little less.
The term "draw weight" in archery refers to the amount of force needed to pull back the bowstring to its full draw length. It is measured in pounds and indicates the strength required to shoot an arrow effectively.
Anywhere between 40 and 200 pounds.

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.
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...
No less than 30 pounds at or before full draw Ref: Minnesota Hunting and Trapping Regulation Handbook 2009
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.
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.
