Poundage adjustment on Guardians

jonnyslim · 03-07-2007, 09:20 PM

Okay quick question to those who have worked on a Guardian. Noticing my Guardian today i can see that the the space between the riser and "limb pocket" is larger on the lower limb pocket then the one at the top. I had the tech change the poundage to 56.5 pounds from 60 so maybe he just lowered one side and forgot about the other. This cant be set up correctly right?

If I were you, I'd tighten them all the way back down and then turn the limb boltsback equal amounts to ensure the tiller is correct at your desired setting.

Okay, shouldnt be too hard considering the limb bolt is visible. Thanks

If that's the weight you want, count how many turns IN it takes to bottom the further one.......then take them both out evenly that same amount and you know you'll get very close to that same weight.

Take the turns evenly in and out......and only a turn or 2 at a time on each side. (In other words don't turn one 7 turns then turn the other seven turns) you need to keep even pressure on the bolt threads.

Yeah thats what i kinda figured too since on the guardian 1 turn is equal to 1lb. i just need to buy a new Hex key set since the one i have in my bowcase is way too small. Do you guys now the exact hex key i need for the Guardian's Limb bolts?

If it's only for changing draw weight.....do yourself a big favor and get a short "T" handle version.
