It also helps to know the frame of reference used, or to be used, for measuring the draw weight. If a bow says 50#@28" AMO, then it means it is 50# at a draw of 28".
Many measure their draw weight of their bows at the back edge of the riser. For a true AMO draw weight measurement, measure an arrow and place a mark 26.25" from the throat of the nock. Then place a mark on the shelf directly above the deepest part of the grip. If you draw your bow, using a draw weight scale, until the two marks are aligned, then you are measuring the AMO draw weight.
