Abstract: An electronic gauge for measuring the maximum draw weight of a compound bow. The gauge comprises a bow engagement member configured to receive a bowstring of a compound bow. A force sensor is operatively coupled to the bow engagement member such that axial forces applied to the bow engagement member are applied to the force sensor. The force sensor is configured to generate an electrical signal representing the draw weights applied to the bow engagement member as the compound bow is pulled through at least a portion of a draw stroke. A processor is in electrical communication with the force sensor to determine a maximum draw weight of the compound bow based on the electrical signal generated by the force sensor.
