Ideal for introducing archery to your kids, the Banshee Quad compound bow set from Barnett features a 25-pound draw weight, 24- to 26-inch draw length, soft touch grip, and an ambidextrous reinforced handle. Tech Talk Compound Bow: Uses a levering system--usually of cables and pulleys--to bend the limbs before the shot is taken. It"s designed to reduce the force required to hold the string at full draw, giving you more time to aim with less muscular stress. Draw Weight: The amount of force, measured in pounds, needed to bring the bow to full draw. Draw Length: The length of arrow draw by an individual archer, it"s the measurement of the distance from the string at full draw to the lowest point on the grip plus 1.75 inches. To get this measurement, stand with your arms outstretched, in line with each other, and palms facing forward. Have someone else measure from the tip of one middle finger to another, then divide this measurement by 2.5 to get your draw length.
