I agree with Zac ,but every bow company can be different .I'd check your manual to be safe ,or ask the bow shop .Maybe go to the bow manufacturer's website and send them an e-mail asking this question.

Again-----normally 3-4 lbs
What kinda bow you talking about.Are you wanting more poundage?
If you are wanting to put the bow at the min draw weight then I would get it checked on a scale---last thing you want to do is lighten it up to much that the bolt pops out--[:-]
