Draw weight same as holding weight?

<< < (2/3) > >>

RBLusthaus:
In fairness, he may be slightly confused with wheelie bow experience, where the draw weight is less than the holding force at full draw.  Mechanical advantage and all that jazz.  The force on the bow hand would still equal the holding weight, but I am not sure why this is relevant, except for the fact that this is what the OP asked about.

Since you are not supposed to be holding for more than a fraction of a second, the question is irrelevant.

??? Even if you're only holding for a fraction of a second, you're still holding the draw weight of the bow. 100#s is 100#s, regardless.

If you have drawn i00 pounds, an additional fraction of a second is irrevelant.
