The only study that reports draw weight by sex is a questionnaire on injuries given to 200 archers aged 13 to 20 at the European Youth Championships, 96 girls and 104 boys from 34 nations, and its figures do not hold up. The declared draw weight is 15.44 lb for the girls and 16.99 for the boys, with no significant difference (p = 0.33): beginner's bow values, converted in the text to 7 and 7.7 kilograms, for archers who at that age compete internationally. In the same table, moreover, the boys' 16.99 with a standard deviation of 1.57 is identical to their mean age, the girls' 15.44 recurs as their weekly training hours and the p = 0.33 is the same as for training hours, so the draw weight row looks copied from other rows rather than measured. The sample also mixes recurve and compound, about three in four and one in four in both sexes. Until a measured draw weight arrives, the question remains open.claim:libbraggio-giovani-sesso:revision:2026-06-16:2Tue, 16 Jun 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/equipment/draw-weight-girls-boysclaim:libbraggio-giovani-sesso:new_claim:2026-05-05:non_studiatoTue, 05 May 2026 08:00:00 GMT
