BOW ADJUSTMENTS
Peak Draw Weight Adjustment
Bear Archery bows have a 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 3 full
turns on bows that are equipped with max pre-
load quad limbs. Do not back out the limb bolts
more that 4 full turns for bows equipped with
flare quad limbs.
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”.
