adjustment on mathews bows
 
How much adjustment is there on a mathews drenalin. If a bow has 70 lb. limbs on it can you back it down to 63 lds. or so. Or would you have to have 60 lds. limbs on it .

thanks chris

The limbs are adjustable down 10 pounds but there is no adjustment in draw length.

If you want 63 lbs just buy a 60 it should top outabout 62, It will also shoot better than a 70 cranked down to 63. That's what i did.

My Outback has the adjustment for the letoff. This will get you a 1/2 inch adjustment. 80% was 29 1/2", 65% is 29"

I think this somewhat depends, because I've seen a few bows, including my Reflex that will certainly crank to 73#, but it shoots much nicer about half to 3/4's a turn out. I had to find that out the hard way, couldn't get things to tune as well as I wanted, lots of inconsistency, backed the limb out, 1/2 and 3/4's turns, an voila, RH's in a couple of tuning sessions. Did the same thing on another bow trying to see if that would help it any, and the same result, RH's with two differet bows on consecutive days.

IMPORTANT! Not all limbs will top out higher than maximum listed poundage by themselves! I have a set on right now of 70lb SBXT limbs that only top out at 69.5lbs. A few string twists and I am up over 70lbs but you really need to watch your ATA and BH! Most limbs shoot best at peak draw weight but that does not mean they shoot poorly at the lower poundages.
