My 10 year old and I were recently gifted bows. His has a listed weight of 25-40#, mine is 55-70#. What does it mean that it’s a range?

    Think of it in reverse, how much weight you can pull in pounds. You should be able to pull that much weight on the bow string between that range to get a good draw, the range means someone who pulls 55 pounds of force or 70 pounds of force can both get a good draw on that bow.
