Two different Wesley Specials: right about 16 ounces.  One 15.9 the other 16.9 because of different riser woods.  I think estimating right at 1 pound would be ball park.

That's one of the nice things about a Hill bow, it's light in the hand while hunting.

My 64" yew Hill is 14.65 oz.

My two 64" bamboo Hills are 17.75 oz.

These weights include the strings.  

Here are a bunch of weights from Dick Wightman's page.
