Larger women and boys (125-145 lbs) = 45-55 lbsĪlthough these are average drawing weights, it is important to shoot what is comfortable for you.If the poundage seems high (it was tough to pull back and hold) lower the draw weight in 2 lb increments until you have found a comfortable draw weight.

If you are comfortable with the poundage and can hold full draw comfortably, the poundage is where you need it. Slip on the new string over the unoccupied sides of the teardrops. Do not pull the bow back to its full draw length you only need to flex the limbs close enough together to attach the new string. To find your ideal poundage, sit down on a chair or tailgate of a truck and pull your bow back with your feet off the ground. Hold the bow in one hand and step on the old string. Try not to roll the cam(s) over, but if you do, make sure you keep a good grip when raising the bow back up to take it off the scale… it’ll try to take you for a ride! 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. i also fixed the serving.To lower the draw weight we unscrew the limb bolts equally on each limb (counterclockwise). i still have the same string that it happend on the bow. i dont recommend anyone to do what i did, but if the manufacture is not going to fix it i will myself. have someone pull your bow and watch the string go around the cam and find the sharp edge. i beleive thats what made the serving fall off. i notice there was a little sharp groove in the cam. i did my own surgery making the gap where the string goes in a little smoother and alittle wider with a dremal and file. what i did was contact hoyt and no problem fixed because the problem isnt that bad. getting a newer string will still do the same thing. what the shop thought the problem was when pulling to full draw, we tend to pull on the string a little harder to get it to full draw causing the string and the cam to hit each other harder forcing the serving to loosen. before that i had a bear instinct with the same issue. i have a hoyt and have had the same problem. I dont think it has anythng to do with the serving or string.
