    Hi there.  I have a 60-70 lb Helim and recently hurt my shoulder and would like to turn the poundage down on my bow.   How far can the Helim be turned down? Will it safely go down to 58 lb or less?  I don’t really want to have to buy a new bow or limbs.  If someone knows this and could let me know that would be great.

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Maximum of five turns out. Roughly drops the bow weight ten pounds. Hopefully the retailer you purchased your bow from has a bow weight scale and will be able to tell you.{#emotions_dlg.mathews_thumbs_up}

    I took my bow to a proshop today and it was put on the scale and maxed out at 65lb.  Everytime it was put on the scale the lbs varied up to a 5-6 lb difference.  Why would this be? I had bought the bow used and not sure what the problem is.  Could one or both of the limbs be screwed?

    More times than not your bow is out of spec when not making weight.  Make sure the ata is 30″ and cam rotation is good.
