Thread: Bow hunters???

just come down on the limbs bottom them out and you should have around 40# or so

One turn on the limb bolts of most bows equates to approximately 3 pounds of draw weight. So to go from 60# to 30# you're looking at around 8 to 10 complete turns out. That's an awful lot. Don't know if that would be safe. Best thing to do is call Bear Archery and ask. Better safe than sorry. Good luck.

Cain, just be sure to back it off the same amount, full down backing off on the top and then the bottom. Do it a couple of turns and then check it, doubt you can back the screws out too much but it will get less accurate once it gets out sweet zone.

It's really not a good idea to try and back it off that far

Do not do it. I had a bow shop ,and there is not a bow made that has that much adjustment. Very dangerous.

Ok, some good advice viewed by me. My grand daughter needs a left handed bow with a 30/35# draw. New bow alone at Sportsmans is $225. On craigslist, I found one, with 10 arrows, practice and blade tips, a few tools and a hard case for $75. I talked to him, said it had a 60# draw.
I'll call Bear monday and see what they say.

If possible take it to your local bow pro shop and make sure the limbs are not cracked and string or cables are in good shape. Sometimes you are money ahead to just buy a new one. I would not buy a bow that I have not had inspected by an experienced Bow tech. Just my two cents.

I would agree.....You can take it to bass pro and they will work on it for free.
