"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.
80 pounds is a very low draw weight for a crossbow and a very high draw weight for a standard bow
the average Draw weight for deer, turcky and hog is between 60 and 70 lb
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.
Check with Bear and Martin
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
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.
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.
The IBO speed of a ZR200 set at 60 pounds draw weight is around 315 feet per second. However, the actual speed can vary depending on factors such as arrow weight, draw length, and arrow type.
