when you are making the weight of a bow the lowest, will it
when you are making the weight of a bow the lowest, will the screw or arms stop unscrewing when you have reached the lowest setting. in other words, how do you know you have acheived the lowest draw weight. also, is there anyway i can change the draw length without a bowpress?
thanks

Check on what the manufacturer says about how many turns you can do or check the poundage as you do a turn.
The bolts do not stop undoing when the bow reaches it's lowest weight.
The draw lenght adjustment also depends on what make of bow it is.
If it is a modular system then you dont need a press but if it requires a cam change ir the string moved to another peg then yes you will need a press.

so eventually the limbs will screw off?
the draw length is changed by changing the string to a different peg
is there anyway i can do this w/o a press?

No! At least not safely to you and the bow.

generally you tighten them until they bottom out "pse excluded" and let them out 3 full turns each , thats maximum , with a martin bow 4 turns are permissible

Actually, one of the nice things about Martin and a few others is that the limb bolts thread into a steel barrel nut and can be viewed from the side so you know when you are going too far. On some bows, too, it depends on whether the limb pockets are used to help keep the limbs aligned with the riser. Then you can't back them out as far. The limb bases must be kepts within the pockets

It is different for different bows. On some it is ten turns on some it is five turns from the bottomed out position. You have to check the owners manual to get it right. If you do not have an owners manual, ausie described the best way. Take a turn off and check the poundage, until you get to the minimum weight for your bow.

Be careful when backing the limbs out of the pockets to reduce draw wieght. The bow monkey at my local shop backed them out so far that they popped out of pockets when my daughter was shooting her new little micro adrenaline. He just plain backed them out to far. I sent the bow back to Browning and they get a major A plus for their service.
