When i draw the bow back, am i constant holding the pressure of the 55 lbs like i would a long bow or does it lock in until release?

Krystal, The beauty of compound bows is that they offer you something called let-off. This bow has a let off of 70%. This means that once the cams activate (you reach the peak of the draw force curve), you will only be holding a a portion of the weight at full draw. For this bow, you would only be holding about 16.5 pounds at the 55 pound setting. Hope this helps!

you actually release the string as you can see the handle is connected to the string and the handle has an end that shoots the nerf arrow! I have to say that a lot of bows we've used didn't shoot but this one actually shoot and have some range but is very safe and doesn't hurt at all. I've had my son shoot me at close range and it doesn't hurt...extremely fun! I shoot the kids sometimes when they don't expect it with the bow nerf...they run! LOL!

Hello Kelly, I have two different bows I had purchased, I believe the bow in question has a 16 lb. draw. I hope this answers your question.

If the bow is shooting low move the pip away from the arrow if it is shooting high then move it back towards the arrow only a half inch at time if that dont work let me know

I also had a longbow and used a string 4 inches shorter than the nock to nock meas.I was not concerned with the tension weight, only the look. Hope this helps

No I don't understand that one. I think it's a matter if what kind of bow that you are shooting. In my opinion, if you are shooting a good strong bow, you won't lose trajectorary

Adjust the flow you want and lock the trigger. There is a button on top of the trigger just push it in. the flow will be reduced on continuous spray. It works well just have to remember it you want a strong flow to press the trigger to a strong flow before engaging the lock button.

believe that the amount of pounds the recurve is rated at is a standard draw of 28 inches. at the draw of 28 inches is 50lbs for a recurve rated 50lbs. still I pull my bow 30 inches which increases the poundage. I shoot 31 inch arrows with a inch left over the front. of course one could draw further depends on length of arm and strength.

it has a locking hand squeeze trigger, which is the protrusion you see on the handle... that allows you to adjust the spray or lock it full on...if you release it, the flow from the wand stops

I don't have the bow with me but I do remember being confused, I believe there is a super small screw that holds it in place that doesn't seem like it would work but it does. Hope that helps.

Bows like this don't come in a "draw length", but the poundage they list is usually written at a 29" draw length. So if you're draw length is more than that you will get a lot more than the listed poundage.

It holds the pressure as long as you want. You have control over it. If you want to, you can pump it up and then release the pressure as many times as necessary.

Lol you need to apply a lot of force to pull it back get an arrow release to make it easier or bring down the lbs pressure

I've only used mine a couple of times and with a shotgun. I'm 6' and believe I could draw my bow without two much trouble. If there were two people inside it would be very hard. Heightwise you might have to duck around a little or stay in the center.

My understanding is that the draw weight of the bow is determined by the limbs which are attached. You can modify the draw weight by using different limbs. I bought a set of 30lbs and 55lbs limbs so that I can have my young son use the same bow. We swap out the 55lbs limb for the 30lbs'ers when he wants to shoot. It regards to the description, it was probably just a misprint.

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 just received a left handed bow. One that's held in the right and drawn back with the left. Hoping it was a mistake. Great bow!
