When you're adjusting your draw weight, it's usually recommended that you press the bow, although most hunters don't bother. It is also necessary that you keep the limb tensions balanced, especially with a solocam bow (equal turns =/= equal limb tension). A good shop should be able to balance your limbs, then have you draw the bow and balance your tiller.

A lot more to it than just turning the same number of revolutions from "fully tight".

BUT, LET'S BACK UP A BIG STEP....

Why are you wanting to increase your draw weight from 60-70?
Great question.

Unless you can really stack them on the X, and you are planning on hunting in Alaska or Africa or something, I wouldn't see any need to go up to 70 lbs from 60.
