that bow also was not made for a fast flight string so if its that material watch the string on the bow could hurt the limbs

idk how to tell i have the 48 inch model of that bow an i shoot a decorn string ...decorn has streatch to it fast flight dont the limb tips in the older bows are not renforced for fast flight like new bows ...an i can not tell a dirrence in the two string types shooting wiseAnd is a fast flight string better?
New to this so if I go look at this bow and I'm trying to see if there is a twist in the limb is it as simple as looking at it and seeing if its straight or do I have to shoot it? Probably a stupid question I know but it won't be the last stupid question I promise
I have almost the exact same bow, mine is 45# at 28" draw. I use a basic dacron string with it. It still is a great shooter. I'm not certain if I should part with it but don't really know its true value either. No limb twist and very good to excellent condition.
they are measured both ways but you get 50 pounds once u draw it to 28 inchs 3 pounds less for every inch under an 3 more for every inch past in draw weightI thought traditional bows went by bow length not draw length. Am I incorrect about that or is it a "however you want to measure thing"?
factory bows weights are measured to 28 inch custom bows are built to your weight at your draw length like my bow is 47@27

No, its not however you want to measure. Traditional bow manufacturers will rate any given bow poundage at the standard 28" AMO draw length, I have a 27" draw length so when I pull this 45# bear Kodiak back I am probably only holding 42lbs. If I had a 29" draw length, I would probably be holding around 47-48lbs. Its the rating system set up to keep it fairly simple for manufacturers and consumers to understand the main characteristics of the bow that they have. Now you are correct in that bow length does have a factor in terms of "finger pinch" which is the feel of a bow at full draw. Typically a smaller overall length bow (not draw length) but the actual tip to tip length of the bow, with everything else being equal, will have a bit more finger pinch for a longer draw length archer as the angle of the string becomes more acute as draw length increases. So a person with a shorter draw length will be able to pull a shorter length bow with less finger pinch than a person with a longer draw length. I hope I answered you question.I thought traditional bows went by bow length not draw length. Am I incorrect about that or is it a "however you want to measure thing"?
