BOW WEIGHT

[Sparra]

Gaday fella's...After shooting only my recurves for a while I got out my compounds for a few shots and I had forgotton how heavy they where to hold..My newest one is a Darton Typhoon and it's the heaviest,my older one being a Proline and is quite a bit lighter than the Typhoon...They both have all the whisltes and bells and was wondering if anyone has compared the different brands with regards to weight as I might have to sell mine and re-invest in a lighter bow...
Regards...Sparra

Sparra, I had exactly the oposite reaction when picking up a friends 55# compound - laughed so hard I had to let it down :) first time I ever shot one. A bit of an advantage if you need to hold at full draw for a while, but not such a positive feel as trad.

Ed I think he's refering to the actual physical weight of the bow snot the draw weights.

ahh well they will get heavier when they get the computer guided systems developed for them :)
