Jeremy,

As everyone has already said, having the limb bolts tightened all the way is fine. The problem I see with your post is that you just tightened the limb bolts all the way from the start. This definatley increased your draw weight. If your bow was tuned properly before, it may not be now. Your arrows may not be spined correctly. The extra draw weight may affect how you draw/shoot also. It's better to gradually increase your draw weight and tune your bow accordingly with each increase. Check your draw weight now and then see if you have the correct arrows. If you don't, I would suggest you back it off a few pounds until next year when you can buy new arrows and tinker with the bow. If the arrows are OK, shoot the bow while trying to maintain correct form. If the draw weight is too high, back it off for now.
