First off, unless that bolt is way out and ready to fall out, your bow is not going to "self destruct".
Just kidding there, nubby. lol

Ahhh.. you guys ran right by nubs post. It is correct in most applications today that an even tiller would be proper. Even adjustment is preferred, especially with single cam offerings. BUT - there is a method of fine tuning that calls for an uneven number of turns on limb bolts. As previously stated by livbucks, it uses tiller. Not but for some of the most discriminating archers employ tiller tuning, which is better suited for two cam bow shooters. Tiller tuning... ahh, yes, for the Tun-a-holic.

If both limb bolts are not the same it will through off you limb tiller which could result if your cams being out of time

yes as the others said, both sides must be turned equally. i have always done it this way. does anyone know what happens if they arent equal?

You should have each bolt to a count, i.e. if you tighten one limb down 5 times you should do the other five times, and so on and so on.

Not true. Ditto what nub said. That bow will probably shoot good with an even tiller.
