FAQ
Penthalon bows
Which draw weight suits me?
The draw weight of a bow is like the horsepower of a car. Higher number means stronger bow. Beginners should start with a low draw weight. We recommend 20 to max. 30 lbs. If you feel athletically fit, then rather 25 or 30 lbs. If you want to choose a light bow, go for 20 lbs.
What is "RH" & "LH"?
"RH" or "LH" refers to drawing hand. Right hand: Hold bow on left, pull string with right hand. Left hand: Reverse.
What is the bow length?
The string length is always given in inches. 1" = to 2.54 cm. For example: 68" = approx. 173 cm. According to the AMO (Archery Merchants and Manufacturers Organization), bow length is defined as 3 inches longer than the fitting string.
Which string do I need?
With the order of a Penthalon bow you already receive the matching string - free of charge.
The Penthalon bows are built according to the AMO standard. This means: The matching string for your bow is always 3" shorter than the specified bow length.
