Also if you go with the way BigJ suggested you can get one of us to call Bowtech/diamond for you. It may be a bit cheaper on the long distance bill that way!

Hard to tell but I don't think them limbs are not backed out as far as they can go...may not be bottomed out but their not backed out all the wayeither.....You NEED to get the weight checked or do like I told you before. Bottom them out (turn thatAllen head "right to tighten, left to loosen till it stops) Then find out how many turns out you can safely loosen those exact same bolts and you will be at about it's lightest weight. I'm sure there is a Bowtech/Diamond rep here who can help with that number. Remember to alternate limbs not turning either more than one complete turn before switching to the other. That's when tightening or loosening the limb bolts.

Good luck

the bow packaging should state which bow you got...look for it to make sure 30/40 is what you got. read the manual it should of came with, find out how many turns on the limbs bolts are too many, than findan allen wrench and turn the bolts all the way in(getting the poundage up all the way to 40), once you have that done than you can start to back them out according to instructions in the manual. make sure each limb gets equal turns..if you follow the instructions you should be able to do it safely.

also, post a pic of the riser meeting the limb, you did post one, but at the wronge angle the side of the bow should face the camera in equal portions and center the camera a little below the top limb

Hey, i checked my invoice it says that they are set at 30. 30-40 limbs.

I don't know if i would just be better bottoming it out turning both till they stop and starting to build up then move up the poundage? Or just leave it as it is and practice pulling back (with arrow nocked of course) until the time comes.

The thing is, i really don't want to damage the bow or injure myself. There are no pro shops here either. I will let my boyfriend have a look at it too.

I have a 10 day return policy on my bow but its not like its damaged and it was expensive to ship from the states.

U can definetly get at least 1 full turn off of that yet, probably 2. That would be around 6#'s......Just make sure the bottom of the limb doesn't come above the limb pocket and you'll be fine.
