The average is 2.5 to 3 lbs of extra draw weight for every 1 inch of extra draw length. So 47.5 to 48 lbs.

As Ragnarok said. If you're really curious, you could find an archery shop or someone with a bow scale to find out the exact weight. Every bow's force draw curve is different, and some bows stack significantly past 28 inches.

A fish scale can give you a darn good idea too.
Ragnarok is right on though.

Depending on design, the increase could be much more than the 2 1/2 - 3# average. The bow itself may not inspect 45# @ 28.
Inspection yourself with accurate scales should yield more reliable results.

I have a Martin Hunter that's 50# @ 28. From what I hear Martin's are known for being heavier than what is stated. I checked it on the scale and at my draw length of 29.25 it pulls 56#. Your safest bet is to check it on a scale.
