Your options above say size 50. Now does size 50 mean it is a 50 pound draw weight?

Bows don't usually come in sizes, it's by draw weight. A 50 lb is for fairly strong adult men. I've prefer 40-45 lbs as I can practice much longer without becoming exhausted.

Maybe 27lb ,17 to 24 in draw not what I thought it would be . Went to a bow I can add Lb an draw to . Good for a 7 year old

I'm not sure if the 50 pounder will hold the 40 pounder. I have the 50 pound and a 30 on top. They are the same size W and D only the height is different to adjust for the poundage.

30 pounds. But you could use it with a 50 if you want but you won't have much line... i've tried it once and worked well like that

I suspect it depends on the draw poundage you have it set to. I can pull it with just my fingers at 42# without fussing but haven't tried shooting it that way.

yes you can draw the bow past the standard 28" draw length, you can draw it to at least 32" without any damage to the bow. the draw weight of the bow will increase about 3 to5 pounds per inch past 28"

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

At 50lb draw if you get a clean shot I see no reason you couldnt with a good hunting arrow

I did add weight to this. 50LBS of lead shot. Due to the size of calibers we were using. 30/06, 7MM Mag, and 300 RUM

It really depends on your strength level. A bow with a fifty pound draw will kill medium size game at a medium distance no problem. But if you are still growing you could out grow this. It really depends on you and you're age

Another hunting article I read indicated that a 55-60# draw weight was good for a 30-yard kill, whereas a 70# draw weight would be better for a 50-60-yard kill. With these ratings, the 25# draw weight of the Banshee might only be accurate to 10 yards. The design of the Banshee is simplistic, even by recurve standards, and you will have to work with it a while to get anything further (accuracy-wise) out of it. I will be buying one as my son's first compound bow; he has been practicing with a Bear student straight bow I've had for 30 years. If he likes it, maybe next year I'll move him into a $200 model.

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.

This bow is for all ages. It is my wifes primary bow. The draw length will go up to 30" and the draw weight will go up to 70 lbs. If you are starting out this is great because you can start at a low draw weight and slowly work your way up. Without having to get a new bow.

Hey. I think it said 50lbs. It's not heavy. I luv it. Best deal I found around. It's been a big help.

Hello, Patrick. I did not put it to a 50# test, however, it is very substantial. One of the best buys I've made for camping equipment. I would take the chance considering the cost.

not sure of the regulations in your state here in Ca. it is a 40 pound min on draw weight the diamond atomic I thinks only go to 25 pounds so you will need to check on that fist.
