Needed this video so bad. My bow was set to 100 lbs. I had to pull my bow so hard that it almost dislocated my finger and it was so uncomfortable to hold back even when fully drawn. The guy I bought it from was like 250 raw muscle and I’m surprised he could even draw back that much

Look on the sides next to your limb bolt. My old Browning Timberline has stair step notches for weight adjustment.

Mine needs to be heavier now. I'm a very novice archer. Now that I'm familiar with it it's to easy and I'm punchin bulls eyes at all distances 😎

So my bow is only rated for 60 pounds and I can’t draw it back correctly I’m curious if I buy new limbs that are rated for 45 pounds could I put them on the bow to change the draw weight

When you put the Allen key in, should the keys face the same direction? Mine do not.

If you add poundage do you have to retune your bow? Like paper tune or timing? I want to add to poundage but do not want to throw my bow out of whack.

How do you confirm that your tiller bolts are adjusted evenly?

It's a shame bow shops don't set a bow up like you do i got Hoyt nitrium 30 and was sent out door with top cam lean out of time and had it out with them. I've had a when it's cold when i draw it so they sent back to Hoyt same noise and they sent me out the door again with cam lean and out of time so I'm driving 2 hr north to a pro shop that treats me rite any idea on the noise I'm getting in the cold?

Thank you so so much I was very confused at first but now I fully understand.

The manufacturer said max is 3 turns counter clock-wise. My question is how much is one turn? Is it 360 degrees?

Great video/info... thank you so much...

Hello John. I just got a good 2nd hand bow. Issue is that vibration absorbers are present between the limbs and pockets. Meaning I cannot screw in completely the bolts to unscrew them evenly out. The vibration absorbers are not easy to remove/reinstall without removing limbs. This I can't do as I do not have a press. Any advice. Thanks

would have been better if he actually set the lbs and tested...

I have hoyt carbon defiant 34 could u plz tell how many full turns i can do for weight adjustment

[themystery]

So all I gotta do is adjust 2 bolts and that's it?

[alexc]

if it is out a little bit will it matter

[beccairvin]

I can't believe you pulled your bow back without an arrow and with a fist! Isn't that how you derail the string?

I have a bear instinct compound bow at 70 pd draw weight i would like to lower that to about 65 mayb 60 how would I do that without messing my bow up

[bobn]

How many pounds does it increase or decrease per turn?
