    Default whats the lowest poundage

    what is the lowest draw weight that you can use a drop away with im not worried about it when im hunting cuz my bow is at 70 pound draw but swim seasion is comming up and i shoot every day and my shoulder gets sore so for during the swim seasion i am doind to turn my bow down to 55 pounds so my sholder wont be sore because every day no matter what i will take atleast 20 or 30 shot if its out side in my back yard or down in my base ment i will end up to shoot some how nomatter what time it is but any way i want to make sure that my drop away will shoot every time it will drop out of the way

    yeah you will be good. a drop away shouldnt malfunction , even at a nearly nominal poundage of draw weight

    Nope, drop-aways will work at the lowest draw weights, Grandson's Parker SideKick had a drop-away ( still does )even when it was only 19#s.

    Corded drop away rests work on movement to make them drop, so poundage isn't a factor in a normally functioning bow.

    ^^ The way it should be, never having to know if customer service is great or not! Too bad it isn't that way for all companies. It makes you wonder when eveyone knows about great customer service from a company doesn't it? ^^
