Says I selected the 55lb bow but in the description it has a draw weight of 30lb?

Has to be a typo is the description. If you look through all the bows 40lbs is the least available.

I have a little problem pulling the string all the way back; however, my husband is very accurate with it and it definitely is a 50 lb bow!

I like the bow very much but there is no way it has the draw weight of a 30 pounds. I don't know why a description would say that, but it does vary a bit with the arrow length. Shorter arrows require slightly less force since you are not drawing the bow as far. Great bow, though.

it says 30lb for all the options... they probably didn't update it for every option

I would say its a bit much. I agree with the two other posters: In regards to str8edge, I dont know if you are around any ranges where they would rent bows, but if you could go to a hunting or sports shop and try them, thats a great idea. Also, as At Full Draw said, I believe 30-35 lbs would be better. Currently (for me), i can pull the draw string back all the way (all the way, meaning my arms' length, me being about your 14 year old's height), and i can hold that for maybe 2 minutes max. So, to answer your question, I would say its not TOO much, but a lighter lbs bow would be better. If its target practice (like i do), 35lbs, if its hunting, i have no opinion.

No, you have to adjust the Draw Weight, according to your strength so you can easily pull it back. Go to You Tube and search for how to shoot a Compoun Bow (do not dry fire a bow) very dangerous if you do that. Good Hunting.

That is the draw weight for the bows. You can get it in 20 pounds up to 35 pounds. In other words, if you put a scale on the 20# bow and drew it to full draw, the scale wold read, 20 pounds. You might borrow a friend's bow to see what weight you are comfortable with before you order one.

After looking at several states regulations on bow hunting, the average draw is 35-45 lbs. This crossbow has 175 lbs of draw. I'm sure it will take a deer with no problems. HOWEVER- do consult your state's regulations on using crossbows for big game hunting. Most states allow you to hunt with a crossbow during rifle season but not bow season. Depends on the state and check the regs before going.

Draw length 30" give or take. My sons bow is a 68" with a 24lb draw. Good looking barebones bow. Good starter bow or new to recurve. Came with string..

per my husband, 180 lb draw weight-never did an actual test on arrow speed. He's had several other brands of crossbows, and says this is the best crossbow he has ever owned. Totally 100% satisfied.

In my opinion, it is because a month or two ago, Amazon's description of the bow was wrong in their text. I called it to their attention and they fixed the text. The bow is rated at 45 - 60 lbs. It would appear they didn't go far enough and failed to correct the Q & A part of their descriptive text. Amazon is a large outfit and they don't always have their ducks in a row. Closer attention to detail is required here. Good luck with the bow!

Probably should'nt go over a 20-25 lb draw. You can always go up as strength develops, but proper form is very improtant when using a recurve.

Adjustable draw weights from 19 lbs to 45 lbs is correct Includes three arrows and bow arrow holder.

If you can take deer with a 55 lb draw recurve, you could take one with this. I am very happy with it

I've always gone by spine number. The lower the number the stiffer the arrow. Heavier the draw weight of your bow, the stiffer the arrow you need to shoot. A lite draw weight bow can shoot a stiff arrow but a heavy draw weight bow can splinter a less stiff arrow. The 55/70 has a spine numbed of 400 (according to the description). That would be fine for a 55lb pull bow or lighter, but would be minimum stiffness for a 70lb pull bow. I don't have these arrows so I'm just making an assumption that 55/70 is an attempt at telling you what weight bow they should work with. I guess Robert doesn't know what numbers mean ether. He gave a kind of a crappy answer. I've always gone by spine number. The lower the number the stiffer the arrow. Heavier the draw weight of your bow, the stiffer the arrow you need to shoot.

I dont believe so . I pretty sure it can handle 29 .I'm not an expert and haven't had this bow long but I dont think the 28in draw is the same as a compound bow .... more like 45lb at 28in if that makes sense to ya... that being said I wouldn't risk going much over 28 but 29 should be fine again not an expert though

That is the pounds of pull. For example if you get the 30# when you pull the bow string back it going to be a consistent 30 pound pull
