A friend told me the average poundage of female international archers is around 32#. I was surprised it could be so low. Are you saying this was mis-informed?

(i recall that female archers in both my clubs get to 80yrd reasonably well with 28 to 32#)

BTW, you say max possible point weight. Would you advocate 120grn for an archer pulling 30# at 27"?? Seems excessive since FOC is already well over 20%.
