It only takes 130 to draw it back to lock it in. But when it is fired the desighn make it a 150lb thrust.

lol.. I have the same question. I think, they meant 0.21 lbs. 21 lbs is a typo.

The draw weight means the amount of force needed to draw the string to its,maximum draw length which in this case is 28" I do believe. If the draw weight is 20 lbs then i would have to excert the same amount of force on the string as i would need to lift a 20 lbs weight. Or, if i tied a 20 lbs barbell to the string of the bow, and lifted it by the handle of the bow then i would draw the bow to the,max draw length. Basically you'd have to pull with 20 lbs of force on the string to draw the bow fully.

They don't post it anywhere but once you buy it and receive it, the pamphlet reads at the very bottom that the weight limit is 220 pounds. If you choose to use it and you weigh more than that, you are risking it. If anything happens you can't blame them because you used it not in accordance with their rules. I do not know why they do not post the weight limit on this page. That's an important piece of information. 220 pounds is not much for overweight people trying to lose weight. I tried it for a few minutes anyway, and if you have any knee issues this will make them worse. It will burn more than walking, but you are risking injury in more than one way.

Probably should'nt go over a 20-25 lb draw. You can always go up as strength develops, but proper form is very improtant when using a recurve.

Greg, my guess is, and only a guess is start with the 0.5 (120 lbs.). Get 3 sets of 10 closing this to a click (metal against metal) and then go up to the 1 (140 lbs). HTH

My understanding is that the draw weight of the bow is determined by the limbs which are attached. You can modify the draw weight by using different limbs. I bought a set of 30lbs and 55lbs limbs so that I can have my young son use the same bow. We swap out the 55lbs limb for the 30lbs'ers when he wants to shoot. It regards to the description, it was probably just a misprint.

The website states 550 pounds, not the 250 listed by the user in the answer section here.

The product listed a wt. limit and it was advertised as a bariatric (usually over 300#). Go to the manufacturer website and double check the product code number against specifications. It is been used frequently over an 18 month period of time and holds up well but the user is less than 250#.

I think mine was only set for 45lb when I got it soI had weight adjusted and ended up adjusting draw length as well.

It would depend more on the bow than the string, but I have this string on my 45 lb bow that we typically over draw a bit closer to 50 lbs.

Generally you specify the draw weight when you order as part of the purchase proceedure. Hope this helps

I use .105 line and it's a little tight so although I've never tried the heavier lines, I suspect .115 is the correct number.

I just wrote that mine was off by a pound. the instructs say to have it calibrated by local cornell cooperative but don't think they still do it (can always check in your area). If you are going for 15 pounds and it reads 14 but the regulator is jiggling, I'd assume it's fine.

Tape goes on the back of the site and there are several different tapes to use.depending on pounds, draw you need to zero the sight then pick the tape u want to use so start at 20 and try to make as good as you can then go to 40 or 50 and as soon as yur ready put the needl on ur 20 yrd mark and it should be dead on between those numbers

Why do you need to adjust it? If you know there is a pound differential, just accept that. I assume you are an adult and whether you weigh 125 or 126 doesn't mean anything. You are clearly obsessed with weight. Don't make such a big deal over one pound!
