On the Fingers

This describes the “actual” draw weight that the archer has to pull and hold. The standard draw weight is typically measured at a 28-inch draw length. An individual archer’s draw length may vary above or below this, resulting in a different, “real” draw weight that the archer must hold “on the fingers.”
