There around 5 pounds, whatever that is you can convert. Doesn't sound like much, but it is noticable. It wasn't just me that thought it, I was with my brother at the time and we both commented on it. Around 4 pounds is alright for me. but even then it gets heavy. A bow for you could be less since it's a lighter poundage.

Your not just walking out and shooting, often time your fighting your way in in the dark and you have to hold the bow so it doesn't get caught on things that can hurt it, all slow enough not scare the game away while carring all the other gear needed.
