<p>My wife likes to shoot arrows at targets.  She uses a relatively lightweight draw compound bow now. We have been talking about her trying a crossbow.  I did a quick search online and found junior models with draw weights from 15 to 60 lbs. </p>

<p>I suspect 15lbs is not going to give good results, and 60lbs is more than she is using now.  Presumably there is some value in the middle that is optimal for target practice only.</p>

<p>What is the minimum draw weight for a target practice <em>only</em> crossbow?</p>
