Adjusting draw weight?

Question

When cranking up the draw weight on a compound bow, do you have to turn the crescent wrench in opposite directions for each limb? (For example, would I turn upward for the top limb bolt, and turn downward for the bottom limb bolt?) Hope I gave you enough info. Thanks.

Answer 2

Both bolts will turn the same way, be sure to turn them in evenly.  Count turns and half turns until drawl weight is achieved.

Answer 3

Both limbs turn the same way make sure you turn them evenly so that there is not to much stress on any one of the limbs.

Answer 4

Look on top of the bolts you are describing- there will be a hole in the middle that an allen wrench will fit into- this is the best method of adjusting the draw weight-to increase the draw weight, turn to the right, about a half turn at a time until you get the desired draw weight. The best method of doing this is to actually tighten up on the adjustment of both limbs, until they both bottom out- then back off a half turn at time on each limb until you reach the desired weight. Doing it this way will help keep the bow cams in tune with each other.

Answer 5

Both the bolts should turn the same direction. Just what ever you do, just remember that they have to be turned the same amount of times. What I done was measure the space between the middle and the limb. That is a good way of doing that. And, you can count your turns, also.
