Assignment #10(c) - Help

8. Consider this passage from Brian’s Hunt:

He has the bow, a laminate straight, almost a longbow, that pulled forty-five pounds at twenty-six inches’ draw.

In this case, what is “draw,” and does “pounds” refer to here?

Original answer:
In this case, “draw” is the arrow and “pounds” refers to the weight of the longbow.


“All assistance that contributes to revising this answer is greatly appreciated.”

In this case, I think the word "draw" is the distance of the plling. The "pounds" in this sentence refers to the power when Brian pulling the bow.
