Clint there for the PLX Longbow its 55lb at 27'' but I only draw about 26 so about 51-52lb@ 26 the last time I put it on the scales. I also shoot them out of the checkmate in the photo as well which Im pulling about 50lb@26.
The 160 pionts weaken the spine a little and they shoot great out of that bow.
