My 10 year old and I were recently gifted bows. His has a listed weight of 25-40#, mine is 55-70#. What does it mean that it’s a range?

    This is not correct. The range of 55-70# is because the draw weight on the bow is adjustable via the tiller bolts. The letoff is expressed as a percentage. If the bow is set to 60# and has a 75% letoff then the peak draw weight is 60# and the holding weight at full draw is 15# (60# - 75%).
