Bow Compound
What does "drawback weight" mean on a compound bow?
I'm planning to buy an Archery set, and the one I would like is with a compound bow. If is says "drawback weight: 25lbs" does that mean I'm actually pulling back 25lbs of weight (and the bow will be as accurate as a 25 lb bow) , or that's just what it feels like, and if it weren't for the pulleys, it'd feel like, let's say, 35 lbs. .
hmm...i hope people can understand what i just wrote. it's kinda confusing.
thanks!!
The amount of force that's needed to pull the arrow back
