I know nothing about bows other then I cant pull them. so does the weight of the blow mean it will be harder to pull?

Yes, the more weight you will have to pull as a bow goes up in weight. It is the Weight of the drawing of the bow when you are preparing to release the arrow.

Its flexes a lot.... I have not had the chance to shoot the bow but drawing it back to get a feel for it I found it does flex. Flexes so much it may mess up your shot or could add power. I plan to shoot the bow soon but I bought it more for a show piece.

Those numbers represent how hard it is to pull the bowstring back to your cheek. 20# means that if an average size person pulled the bowstring back to his or her cheek then his or her fingers would be using 20 pounds of force. New archers are advised to use a very light pull bow. My adult students start with the 20 pound bow and don't move up until their technique is good.

Well its ok. but just make sure you're strong enough to attach the string to the bow. also make sure all the nuts and bolts are properly tightened. i lost one when it came undone and had to replace it. the last thing I'm gonna add ismake sure you are firing at a visible target. I've already lost all my bolts due to them going underneath the ground.

this bow wuld be great for you. i have not measured the arrows but believe they are a regular length. My grandson is 10 and really likes it. the pull though is alittle stiff or tight but it is still new. I am very imppressed with the bow for the price.

Yes it would! You can always safely move down in weight, but if you move down in weight too much you might sacrifice accuracy because the arrows are stiffer than necessary.

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.

I don't recall that there was a draw weight limit on the packaging. However, these are intended for children's bows so the strength of the arrows is probably far in excess of what a child could pull. Considering my son shoots these into a wood fence when he misses the target none have failed or even dented the point.

It would honestly depend on strength. It would probably be best to start off with a low weight bow

It really depends on your strength level. A bow with a fifty pound draw will kill medium size game at a medium distance no problem. But if you are still growing you could out grow this. It really depends on you and you're age

Yes, now that I think about it you can buy a hand crank to cock your bow. Once cocked there is no holding the string. Crossbow would be perfect as long as you got the hand crank. Without that the crank it does take some effort to cocktail the bow. Hope this had helped you

Not a good idea. The bow and arrows are soft foam and really don't fly at all well. I bought it for my 9 year old grandson knowing full well that he would use it in the house.So far nothing has broken. But it isn't heavy weight enough to pull a wire. It barely shoots the arrow.

You have to pull the tip, it might be hard to pull so be careful not to hurt yourself.

A strong adult. I am 42 and struggle pulling back this bow. It is no toy. My 15 year old uses this, but he is a very strong athlete.

I would think it would not be to much of a problem. Just make sure and adjust the cocking device to make it shorter so they can pull to the stomach. If you get it up past the stomach area it gets difficult as you lose leverage. Be sure and preach safety this bow is definitely not a toy, it's fast and accurate with a waxed rail I'm getting well over 315 fps. Very nice bow!!

You will be able to pull the post; however if you don't use a boom the post will probably break.

I've always gone by spine number. The lower the number the stiffer the arrow. Heavier the draw weight of your bow, the stiffer the arrow you need to shoot. A lite draw weight bow can shoot a stiff arrow but a heavy draw weight bow can splinter a less stiff arrow. The 55/70 has a spine numbed of 400 (according to the description). That would be fine for a 55lb pull bow or lighter, but would be minimum stiffness for a 70lb pull bow. I don't have these arrows so I'm just making an assumption that 55/70 is an attempt at telling you what weight bow they should work with. I guess Robert doesn't know what numbers mean ether.
