What does turning the limb bolts clockwise do?

Turning the limb bolts clockwise increases the draw weight of a bow. This adjustment works because the limb bolts secure the limbs of the bow to the riser, and when they are tightened by turning clockwise, it increases the tension in the bow's limbs. As tension increases, the limbs store more energy, which translates to higher draw weight when the bow is drawn.

Understanding the limb adjustment is vital for archers looking to customize the feel and performance of their bow. Adjusting draw weight can help archers align their equipment with their physical strength and experience level, optimizing their shooting experience. The other options don't pertain to the action of turning the limb bolts in this manner; therefore, they do not apply to the proposed adjustment.
