Draw length and weight

<< < (2/3) > >>

DC:
This is similar I think. When I started my tree just had a single block(pulley) and I could not bring myself to pull past 40# unless I really concentrated. I was sure it would break. Double block system cured that.

PEARL DRUMS:
Very similar. I do the same on my tree, even now. It only takes a handful of breaks and our subconscious rules.

DC:
I've been lucky, only one real break in my hands. Popped a bunch of splinters but they don't really count. Most break on the tree.

bradsmith2010:

Strelets:
Yes, I have several English longbows of different nominal weights. I think that I am drawing them the same length, but when I measure carefully I find that I am getting exactly 70 lb out of all of them, providing that the draw length does not exceed 27".  Beyond 27" then the actual weight that I can draw decreases.
