Bow poundage

[ranger 3]

Is there any difference in a bow that is 54@30 drawing to 28" and a bow that is tillered 48@28

[katman]

Depends on how the limbs were built and there max draw length. Not sure how much performance one would loose.

[Bjorn]

If the bows are identical my guess is performance would be the same.

It really depends on the build and design of the limb. However there should not be a lot of difference. A bow that is really built draw specific for 28 inches would probably outperform the longer draw bow when built for the longer draw;. The performance would most likely be in the 5 fps range.

It is a Black Widow LB

Assuming all else is equal, which it almost never is, it would depend entirely on the draw force curve.  It's not necessarily the case that 54@30 is going to be 48@28.  It could be as much as 51 on some bows.
