Bowtech limb shim ??
 
Does any one know the color of the shims bowtech will sell to increase the draw weight of a bow?
I could have sworn I've read in the past where they will sell another set of shims to modify a bows draw weight in exchange for some brace height. If so, I'm wondering if that's how they got mine to draw 65# maxed as requested.

What I saw when it was tore down last week was a white shim at the base of the limb pocket with a groove cut in it to allow the limb bolt to slide through during assembly. But when the bow is assembled I can see a black plastic piece at the rear of the pocket area where the limb meets the pocket.

That is a soft silicone pad to help absorb noise within the limb pocket. It dosen't do anything to increase the draw weight;).

The tall limb rockers are the same black color, just noticeable thcker.

That's the word I was looking for- rockers!
Noticably thicker? I must not have them as mine are only ~1/8- 1/4" thick or so.
Thanks for the help, answers my question.
I truely have a 65# bow and not a hopped up 60#er.

For the regular ones I measured 5/32, and 13/64 for the tall ones

Yikes! looks like my eyeballed guestimates are both real close to what 500 fps measured.
Guess I'll try to measure them in place.
