But this is what the specific model can range from, such as: 30 to 40 lbs., 40 to 50 lbs., 50 to 60 lbs., 60 to 70 lbs. Please note: The draw weight for the bows listed doesn’t range from as an example 40 to 80 pounds for the one individual bow model. Some companies like Hoyt Archery are now using ATA, (Archery Trade Association) guidelines for speed, while other companies use the IBO (International Bowhunting Organization) speed ratings. All good bows and the MR5 seemed to hold on target exceptionally well, with or without a bow stabilizer for me and was fast.)

(In 2011, I had a Mathews MR5, PSE Stinger, PSE Bow Madness XL pictured above and a Mathews Conquest Apex 7 for target. The target compound bows have become shorter overall in modern times. Note the axle to axle length in 2011 was generally longer for the majority of bows compared to today’s list, both in bowhunting bows and target bows. This list has a more complete database compared to the other 2010 table, with more bow brands like: Hoyt Archery, Bowtech, Martin Archery, Diamond Archery, Mathews Archery, Mission, Bear Archery, Darton, Strother Archery, Alpine Archery, Ben Pearson Archery, Parker Bows, Quest Bowhunting, Athens Archery, Elite Archery and a few other brands listed.

What bow has a generous brace height and how heavy did the bows weigh? What axle to axle length were they? These are just some of the questions answered with this old bow database. So we dug a little deeper and found some specs from 2011. It was interesting to look at the specifications of the older compounds, compared to say, today’s new bows. Just recently we published an article on compound bow comparisons for 2010 models.
