Llke 55# when using the glass arrows.
But that gets to be a chore.
This was a Cartel riser w Samick Sage limbs (often called a Car-sage).
Hyped on a trad forum, I built one. Riser flex sucked (funny feel at the shot).
62" length was too long. And it was pretty slow (when shot w reg arrows).
Poundage was 45#.
I hated it.
Whoever said it rivaled the feel and performance of a custom recurve was drunk or high.
Best bowfishing rig I ever had was my Blackwidow SA2 55#. I shot very high % with it.
And I slipped and fell and smacked it pretty hard too (BW fixed it, the repair lasted through deer season- they deemed it unsafe to repair again so built me a new one, under warranty- they didn't have to do that GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE
That was the end of bowfishing with a 1K bow though. Hence the Car-sage.
Think an old Bear K mag at 50# might be a decent rig. Haven't found one cheap enough yet.

I did take my '72 minty Blackwidow HF1225 out for a day, 48#. Paid $300 for that one LOL
Dunno if I have a pic of that one around
