The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness.
2 1/2 - 3 full turns for most that should equal around 10 lbs . martins bows are usealy rated for 15 lbs of adjustment around 4 full turns . a scale is highly sugested / recomended
edit to say , there are no dumb questions , just dumb answers

I always recommend starting with the limbs tightened up all the way, and then back off from there.
PSE recommends I think only 2 1/2 turns out, max.
If youwant toback out more, see if you can change out the limbs for a different weight range.
Good luck.
