adjusting the draw weight

[alsere_42]

hi think i have a fred bear omni pro and its draw weight is 60 to 70lb i would like to know how you adjust it down to 60lbs,i know you have to wind the screw out of the limbs evenly but i dont have any idea how many turns,i dont have a way of measuring the draw weight, this is the first bow i have owned so any help would be appreciated thanks Alan..

crank it the whole way up to 70#'s then wind the limb bolts out 4 full turns... that will generally take it down to its minumum which might be on 60# or a touch less...
