Default Increasing poundage?

I want to increase the poundage of my Legacy. Was is the poundage increase of one full rotation with an allen wrench on both limbs? Thanks.

The general rule of thumb is 4 lbs per full rotation. It might be different on your bow, however. All you can do is put it on the scale.

I believe that is total. The Martin manual says one complete turn on each limb bolt provides about 4 lbs of adjustment. It is a little vague and could be interpreted on a per-limb basis, but my understanding is that you turn both bolts one time and you get 4 lbs of adjustment, not 8.
