Labelling of the limbs
The limbs of a bow are always marked with a label indicating not only the draw weight of the limbs but also the length of the handle or the length of the bow to which the draw weight refers. This label can look like the following:
19H 25# 62" or
If the length of the handle is not specified, a 25" handle is usually the basis for the draw weight specification. In the case of special bows, where the limbs are only suitable for the respective handle, the draw weight specification is naturally related to the corresponding handle.
Conversion of draw weight and bow length
Many limbs have universal mounting options, enabling them to be used on various handles of one manufacturer or multiple manufacturers. It should be noted, however, that the use of a shorter or longer handle results in a change in the bow length and the draw weight.
As a rule of thumb one can remember the following:
or
+2" handle length = +2" bow length & -2 lbs draw weight
i.e.: If the handle is 2" shorter than the length to which the draw weight refers on the limbs, the bow is 2" shorter and the draw weight increases by 2 lbs.
