Draw weight is the power the arrow is loosed at. Bows with more draw weight like long bows require very strong people to handle. The better the draw weight the further/harder the arrow flies eg: Arrows peircing chainmail... Hope this was the answere you were looking for. Enjoy...

The draw weight is equivalent to the force required to lift the same weight off the ground. I.e. 70 pound draw weight would feel like you are lifting that weight off the ground, using the draw hand.
