? on Diamond edge

[TeeJay]

How far can you screw the limbs out. I have them backed 4.5 turns out and he is still having trouble drawing. Wish I would have went with 40 lb limbs.

Anyone?

TeeJay ,

This is from the on-line manual from Diamonds website:

When adjusting the bow"™s draw weight
on The Edge and Cutter bows, always
keep the bow at even tiller. Tiller is the
distance between the string and the
point where the back of the limb joins
the riser. The tiller at both the top and
bottom should be equal.If the top or bottom
tiller is off by as little as 1/8"™"™, the
bow"™s performance will be affected.

When adjusting the bow"™s draw weight,
do not turn the limb bolts out more than
2-1/2 full turns. Each full revolution of
the limb bolt equals about 2-5 lbs.
depending on bow model.
u WARNING: DO NOT TURN THE LIMB
BOLTS OUT MORE THAN THE RECOMMENDED
AMOUNT. Doing so could
cause the limbs to break out of their
pockets and result in bodily injury.

Don't know if that helps or not ?

flstnhd beat me to it, Teej... the good thing about it is you can take your Edge to any authorized BowTech dealer and they can do a limb swap for you for $50.

Be careful on adjusting the limb bolts out too far; I watched a bow come apart on a young boy a couple months ago at the St. Louis Cabela's. I know someone had done the same thing... backed the limb bolts out way too far trying to get a bow to fit someone instead of dropping down to the next-size poundage bow.

Thanks guys I will run back over the tomorow and swap out limbs or bows.
