What is the approximate change in bow weight with each full turn of the limb bolt?

The approximate change in bow weight with each full turn of the limb bolt is generally considered to be about 1.5 lbs. This value is based on standard tuning practices among archers and the mechanical principles governing how limb bolts affect the draw weight of the bow.

When the limb bolts are adjusted, they either increase or decrease the tension on the limbs, which directly impacts the bow's draw weight. A turn of the limb bolt alters the string angle and tension within the limb, leading to a specific increase or decrease in weight that is manageable and predictable. Recognizing that small adjustments can lead to significant changes in performance is essential for tuning the bow to the preferences and needs of the archer, particularly in competitive settings or hunting scenarios where precision is crucial.

Other choices presenting different weight adjustments per turn are typically inaccurate based on industry standards and user experience shared within the archery community. Understanding the correct increment helps archers fine-tune their equipment more effectively and align it with their shooting style.
