70 lb drawback vs 20 lb drawback

@Plinian 4 ай бұрын

Wouldn’t two 70lb draw bows (cheap or expensive) largely do the same thing? I’d imagine the price difference is more relative to the archer in terms of materials, let off, carry weight, etc

@pampen338 4 ай бұрын

@@Plinian no. speed i also affected by the cams, limbs and a bit for the strings. But draw length is affecting a bows speed the most

@Plinian 4 ай бұрын

@@pampen338 That is true, but ideally I wouldn’t think that would be a variable if you’re shooting 2 bows setup for the same person’s length of draw. Or does the limb length/geometry affect that regardless if the draw is the same? Not asking to be a dick. I’m genuinely curious.

You also hit more 'centered' with the expensive bow. This will definitely have an impact on the penetration as opposed to just glancing off. Do the test on a piece of flat sheet metal that has no curves.

@omegaz3393 Ай бұрын

$200 or $10,000 bow. Makes no difference. It's the draw that counts and the angle it hits at. Also, these are compound bows and those I'm familiar with would break between 40% to 60% of draw. So a 70# draw may only require 40# if your holding draw position.
