Archery World Finding Your Draw Weight

Finding Your Draw Weight
There is no set way of finding your draw weight, the best way is to try a few different weights out either at our Preston showroom or at your local club

Here is a rough guide:

Light Limbs 16-20#

Medium Limbs 20-26#

Heavy Limbs 28-32#

Which do you select?

It is safer to select a draw weight that is on the light side as this will most likely cause less physical strain. This is especially important for juniors.

Ability to draw is determined firstly by technique and then by strength.

You may want to use the following as a rough guide:

Juniors 16-24lb

Ladies 16-28lb

Men 16-32lb

As technique and strength increase, it may be possible to increase your draw weight
