How much draw weight does this bow lose per inch or draw? Thanks!

THat is entirely dependent on the overall draw weight of the bow, i.e., a 30# @28" draw bow will gain approximately half as much per in as a 60@28 bow. The draw force 'curve' also varies between bows of different lengths, and early '59s were made on a slightly different form than later 59s. As an example, I've attached a drawforce curve Shandor Weiss recently shared for a new Bear LES 59er, marked 58#.

How about a #50 60 inch bow? Just an approx number is great.

They do vary from bow to bow. I don't have a 50# 60" 59 Kodiak but here's the #s for a 51# 60" 1960 Kodiak.
