What is the actual draw length of a crossbow prod / recurve, fiberglass 175 lbs draw weight?

12 Crossbow Do and 3 Don ts

75 lbs to 125 lbs

Draw weights for hunting are considerably higher. Assistive devices are sometimes used.

Yes. The numbers me that with a 28 inch draw(28-30 inch arrow) the draw weight is is 50# and the string is 66"

look inside the limb pockets or under the grip. most of my hoyt recurves were stamped under the riser grip. You'll find a set of #'s @ the base of the limbs but that's batch ID , draw weight , leanth. for just the bow limbs not the riser, ( talking recurve here) with a compound you'll prob. only find one set of #'s.
you will need a bow press to break down a compound.

good luck & good shooting

Usually on the lower limb of the bow is marked string and cable length. If not will have to contact manufacturer.

In a recurve bow, the longer your arms the further you pull the bow back and the higher the pulling weight of the bow becomes as you pull it further and further. A starting bow weight is around 25-31 lbs.

Compound bows have become much more popular among archer because they provide opportunities for many people to become proficient due to the reduced draw weight and ease of shooting. On the other hand, crossbows are increasing in popularity and help disabled shooters participate equally because of the comfortable horizontal shooting position.

Often made of more than one material, either laminated carbon or fiberglass, with the tips curving away from the archer -- a highly recommended bow for beginner archers, in addition it is also the exclusive bow of the Olympic Games

In a crossbow, the limbs of the bow, called a prod, are attached to a crosspiece in order to allow for mechanical pulling and holding of the string. This mechanical pulling allows for a much larger draw weight than could be drawn by hand. A crossbow is mostly recommended for hunting

This isthe amount of increase in weight as the bow is drawn. It occurs in all bows,but can be intensified in three ways. First, the bow may be too short for thedraw length. A longer bow could help this problem. Second, the ratio offiberglass weight or thickness should also be increased. Third, the moreradical the limb design the more the stack will increase. This means that at agiven limb length the bow weight, a more pronounced recurve design, will stackmore at full draw. The use of multiple tapers in a limb can also causestacking.

String length is 60 inches. The brace should be 7.5 to 8 inches. Listen for noise and feel for hand shock. Twist the string to add brace. Shoot for the sweet spot. When the bow becomes quiet and the vibration and hand shock is minimal, you have found the sweet spot. Measure your brace height at this point and write it down.
