It means that you have to pull 55lbs to draw the bow.
A heavier pull typically means a stronger bow.
You need to pull back 55lbs. A Compound bow will be heavy at first but with the pullies its about 1/2-5/8 less you have to hold on to.
it means it takes 55lbs of pulling force to draw the bow back to full draw. this is measured with a scale, a frame to hold the bow and a come-along to pull the string back precisely to full draw. they find the pull and mark it on the bow.
PS: Mark is way off topic and telling lies, 55lb is totally legal for hunting since most states have the minimums at 40lb and some even at 35lb draw for hunting big game. anyways, I don’t believe the asker was asking that was he? just what it meant, jeez.
Source(s): I’ve seen a professional do measuring for a custom bow someone made, I even helped him set the frame up and watched him do everything else.
How much it takes to pull back and don’t listen to the guy sayin it illegal, the bows they got these days are slingin arrows plenty fast with alot of kinetic energy to pack a punch at 45lb draw
Bank, that’s the amount of arm strength it takes to pull the “string” back and hold it steady. It’s the way bows are rated.
It means the string can handle 55lbs of pressure per square inch
That the arrow is fired with 55lbs of pressure.
Source(s): I think
it the amount of weight that your pulling back and 55lbs is illegal to use because it will shoot the arrow to slow and will take to long for the deer to die and make it suffer.
