Yes, according to the most recent printing of the Marshall's handbook
(1994, I believe), Society-wide standards for golf-tubes are fifty lbs
pull on regular bows, and unless I am mistaken, 70lbs or thereabouts for
crossbows.

But Luissa is correct: Atlantia allows practically any safe arrow, but
limits them all to 30lbs pull.
