The draw weight and lengths are adjustable. I have it set at 55lbs with a 28inch draw. set up is a cinch. You'll have to buy the tools to adjust the weight and draw or take it to a reputable place. I love my Martin bow. its awesome for a self taught beginner like myself.

The draw weight only goes to #20, which to an adult, may seem a little bit under powered If you want a compound bow that's more "grown up", look at other options as the genesis was meant primarily for kids Other bows (on Amazon) include: PSE Stinger 3G, Diamond Infinite Edge, and Quest Radical

Bows don't usually come in sizes, it's by draw weight. A 50 lb is for fairly strong adult men. I've prefer 40-45 lbs as I can practice much longer without becoming exhausted.

I think the minimum draw weight for a hunting bow is at least 45lbs, so no, I wouldn't consider this as a hunting bow..unless just for squrrels or rabbits...but not on a deer.

Adult in general. The 29 draw is really long for a normal child and a child may have problems pulling a draw this high. It depends on how the child fits this bow's minimum requirements. You can drop the weight to 50 I think. I'm 6' and my draw is 29". Hope this helps!

"Arrow spine weight must match or be higher than bow weight." The draw weight of the bow in question is: 15 to 20 pounds. Draw length: 15 to 20 inches.The bow features durable composite limb and riser construction and measures 26 inches from axle to axle. Constructed of fiberglass, the Safetyglass arrows offer high flexing qualities and will not splinter. My guess is yes, you can use these arrows, since they come with the bow. I guess you would get the 26" arrows. The description is a little vague, but I notice that these arrows are commonly purchased together with the bow in question. The final question is what length of arrow do you get? 26" seems a safe bet. Or higher, 28" to 30" since "Arrow spine weight must match or be higher than bow weight." i would buy the bow and see what arrows come with it before ordering more, or else contact the company directly and ask them, since the info does not appear to be on Amazon.

I would pass on this if you really want to get into archery. I bought this for my girlfriend so she could loose some arrows with me. If I were you I would head down to Bass pro or a local archery store and talk with someone that knows about it. They will measure you for your draw length as well as help you find what your poundage is. Also they will specially cut arrows for your draw length. Its up to you though, depending on how serious you are about it all.

I like the bow very much but there is no way it has the draw weight of a 30 pounds. I don't know why a description would say that, but it does vary a bit with the arrow length. Shorter arrows require slightly less force since you are not drawing the bow as far. Great bow, though.

55# draw weight, as far as I can tell. Ordered this one myself, and it's definitely not 30# to say the least haha.

Krystal, The beauty of compound bows is that they offer you something called let-off. This bow has a let off of 70%. This means that once the cams activate (you reach the peak of the draw force curve), you will only be holding a a portion of the weight at full draw. For this bow, you would only be holding about 16.5 pounds at the 55 pound setting. Hope this helps!

per my husband, 180 lb draw weight-never did an actual test on arrow speed. He's had several other brands of crossbows, and says this is the best crossbow he has ever owned. Totally 100% satisfied.

It is a real bow and can be set to a draw length of 22/23, the only thing to check is your state requirements for minimum poundage. At that draw length it might not be a high enough poundage to legally hunt.
