Bow Draw Weight Calculator:
Enter the value of bow weight, BW(lbs) to determine the value of Draw weight, D(lbs).
Bow Draw Weight Formula:
The draw weight of a bow refers to the amount of force, measured in pounds, required to pull the bowstring to a specified draw length.
This measurement is crucial for determining the bow’s power and suitability for different types of archery.
The draw weight influences the arrow’s speed and impact, making it a key factor in both hunting and target archery.
Typically, a higher draw weight results in greater arrow velocity and kinetic energy, while a lower draw weight allows for easier handling and less strain on the archer.
The bow’s design, including its length, material, and the geometry of the limbs, affects the draw weight.
Draw weight, D(lbs) in pounds is calculated by dividing the product of bow weight, BW(lbs) in pounds and 70 by 200.
Draw weight, D(lbs) = BW(lbs) * 70 / 200
D(lbs) = draw weight in pounds, lbs.
BW(lbs) = bow weight in pounds, lbs.
Bow Draw Weight Calculation:
- A bow weighs 60 pounds. What is its draw weight?
Given: BW(lbs) = 60lbs.
Draw weight, D(lbs) = BW(lbs) * 70 / 200
D(lbs) = 60 * 70 / 200
D(lbs) = 21lbs.
- A bow has a draw weight of 35 pounds. What is its corresponding bow weight?
Given: D(lbs) = 35lbs.
Draw weight, D(lbs) = BW(lbs) * 70 / 200
BW(lbs) = D(lbs) * 200 / 70
BW(lbs) = 35 * 200 / 70
BW(lbs) = 100lbs.
