When using a bow scale, hook the string to the scale’s hook at the nocking point and pull down on your bow’s riser until your bow is at it’s “roll over” spot on the cams and look at the scale for its draw weight. If they are not marked, max out the draw weight and your lowest draw weight will be 10 lbs lighter in most cases. Only attempt to shoot draw weights in the limb’s specified range (50-60 lbs, 60-70 lbs). Repeat this process until you reach your desired draw weight. Next, unscrew both limb bolts one revolution (360°) and check the poundage on a bow scale. Tighten the limb bolts until the limbs are tight to the riser.įirst, raise the drawing weight to its max. The bow will now be at the maximum poundage and maximum draw weight, ATA measurement, and brace height measurement can be verified. To check to see if a bow is in “spec” (at its specified manufacturer’s measurements) tighten (clockwise) the limb bolts until the limbs are against the riser. If the limb bolts are unscrewed too much, the limb bolt’s threads can come out of the riser and cause damage to the bow and injure the mechanic.Įvery bow’s limbs have a specific draw weight rating: 50-60, 60-70, 70-80, etc. Safety Precaution: Be careful that you do not unscrew the limb bolts passed the bow’s lowest weight setting.

To lower the draw weight we unscrew the limb bolts equally on each limb (counterclockwise).
