Browning Micro Midas

How much draw weight should I apply for my bow?

I'm starting up archery and I'm not sure how much draw weight I should have with my bow. I'm a guy, 15, 5'8" and about 125 lbs. I was thinking I could use a 40-50 pound bow, but I'm not sure. I'm determining between the browning micro midas 3 and the Browning Micro Adrenaline. THANK YOU. any advice is appreciated.

It will depend on what you want to do with your bow.
Most states have a legal minimum draw weight requirement to legally hunt game. Usually around 35 to 40 pounds.

If you are shooting in 3D competitions, you will want to draw a stronger weight in order to consistently shoot the 12 ring at 60 yards.

If you are shooting just for the fun of slinging some arrows, you could shoot 25.

Height and weight do not mean anything when it comes to draw weight. I'm a 6' woman and I pull 45#.
I know a guy who is 5'2 and draws 70#.
I know a woman who is 5'6" and she draws 85#.

It depends on how strong your arm muscles are and what your draw length is as well.

Longer draw lengths can get the job done at a lower poundage than a shorter draw length because of kenetic energy rules.

Bottom line is, it depends on what you want to use your bow for!
