In the low 30's but although I did measure it once I can't remember at the moment. They are 30lb limbs rated. I went down from 32lb limbs that were around 36 at my draw length.

Most of my shooting is at 20 yards indoors and as long as the arrow doesn't hit the ceiling I would rather shoot 100 arrows plus at a time and not worry that I will feel it the next day.

With the 32 lb limbs I could not shoot 80 meters with my set up because i would shoot through the front sight. At 90 meters the sight was under the arrow! I could have changed the sight but I usually don't shoot those distances.

The shop I shoot at has many holes in the cieling mostly from people that want to be macho and draw more that is comfortable for them.

With my target coumpound many people ask what my draw weight is and I tell them something like 52.5.

I add the .5 for giggles to make them think that I am serious.

How does it shoot through paper? how do the arrows group at the target? Questions like those determine much of how I set the bow up and the draw weight.
