Michihunter Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Bowhunters with Lighter Draw Weights Howdy folks!! I'm trying to gather some information for a project I'm working on and I am requesting some factual data from those that can provide some. If you or your children are currently shooting a compound bow with less than 50#'s of draw weight I'm hoping you can provide me with some factual specifications on your setup. What I'm asking for specifically is the following: Draw Weight Draw Length Arrow Speed Arrow Weight and Length Bow Brand and Mfg Arrow Brand and MFG Age Your help and cooperation is certainly appreciated on this mission and I thank each and everyone of you for lending your assistance.

SuperMn106 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I am not below #50. I am not too far from it, I am currently at #52. My draw length is 27 1/2, Arrow speed is right at 270 fps, Arrow weight and length is 320 and 29. My bow is a BowTech Mighty Mite, My arrows are easton carbon arrows. I am 24 yrs old I hope you can use this, but not sure since I am over the #50 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I don't have enough info on my girlfriend's bow that I got her. If I can get her to a pro shop or somewhere there's a chrono I let you know. She shoots an '08 Diamond Edge, but I forget her measurements and poundage. Her poundage is somewhere close to 38 lbs. Sorry I can't be more help at the moment. - Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stcif Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 My son shoots a Diamond Edge, 2007 model. He has the 40-50 pound limbs but he is currently shooting about 37-38 pounds. Draw lenght is 23 1/2. Arrow lenght is about 25 1/2. He is shooting Whitetail arrows (Gander Mountain), 3555 with 75 grain tips. Arrow speed is about 170. I never weighed the arrows but I would estimate 350 grains maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
