bow poundage & draw length question.
something I've been wondering about for awhile is this. I have a 41# @ 28in draw while I'm only drawing 27in so obviously I'm not pulling 41#. Is there a calculation to work out roughly what poundage I am acctually pulling? Done a google and nothing obvious was coming up, thought a few folk on here might be able to help.

Re: bow poundage & draw length question.
The norm in higher weight bows is the bow poundage increases at approx 3# per inch of draw. With your lighter weight bow I would think you would be drawing 38.5# - 39# at your 27" draw.
