What is the bow and arrow tension used in the Olympic Games?

The upstairs introduction is very detailed, but there is no mention of the tension of the bow _

The bows used in modern shooting vary according to the shooter's height, but the average length is 173 cm (68 inches). Similarly, arrows come in various lengths, but the average length is 56 cm (22 inches). The tension of the bow (that is, the force required to pull the bow fully) is 14 to 23 kg (30 to 50 lbs) for men and 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lbs) for women. Shooters usually put arrows on their shoulders or hang them in the quiver around their waists. Use gloves or finger sleeves to protect the fingers pulling the bowstring, and wear a protective arm on the inside of the forearm of the bow arm to prevent the loosened bowstring from being whipped. Western countries use the so-called Mediterranean bow-drawing method to draw a bow and release an arrow; The method is to pull the bowstring backwards with three fingers, with the first finger above the slotted arrow and the second and third fingers below. Take right-handed archery as an example, the arrow is shot from the left side of the bow.
