Another Bowtech question!

Swamp Dawg · 12-26-2003, 11:34 AM

I am planning on getting a 80 lb 2004 Liberty soon. (if my 2 bows on ebay will ever sell.)[:'(] My question is, Can you back an 80lb model down to about 75-76 pounds? I thought I read on another post that Bowtech did not recommend backing off the limb bolts. Or is that just while it is in a bow press? Just wanted to make sure before I order. Thanks.

Yes you can.

As Vic said they can be backed down from their peak draw weight generally 10 lbs. in most cases.

BowTech recommends no more than 2 1/2 turns out on each limb bolt.

no problem with backing it down - as bowtech shooter said about 10lbs is it.

I assumed that was the case, but someone on this board said Bowtech did not recommend it. Just wanted to clarifiy. Thanks.

Yes you can! Isn't that about half the purpose of the new limb pockets? That supposed to make the bow perform better when you back the poundage down! You should be able to shoot it at 70 lbs. no problem.

Good Luck...you'll love that bow!

I have a MacPhearson Hornet and a PSE Mohave on Ebay. I'm practically giving the things away, but I want that new Liberty in a bad way!!!
