BOW ADJUSTMENTS
Peak Draw Weight Adjustment
Bear Archery bows have an approximate 10
pound peak weight adjustment range. If your
bow is equipped with limb bolt lock downs,
make sure these screws (small single button head
screw attached to riser through “tang”
protruding from underneath the limb pocket) are
loosened before making any weight adjustments.
Using a 7/32” hex wrench for bows with a 3/8-
16 limb bolt, and a 3/16” hex wrench for bows
with a 5/16-18 limb bolt, turn the limb bolts
clockwise to increase peak weight and counter-
clockwise to reduce peak weight. Bow weight will
increase or decrease approximately two to four
pounds per turn. IMPORTANT Both limb
bolts must be adjusted equally. Likewise, do not
turn one limb bolt more than two turns ahead of
the other when making adjustments. Finally, limb
bolts must never be backed out more than the
specified number of full turns on bows that are
equipped with max pre-load quad limbs. Also, do
not back out the limb bolts more than the
specified number of full turns for bows equipped
with flare quad limbs unless otherwise noted.
Bows with limb bolt lockdowns: After all tuning
adjustments have been made; engage the limb
bolt lock down screws. Screws should be snug
against the limb pocket “tang”.
