[QUOTE="AllOut, post: 1201336, member: 12099"] any manufacture will tell u not to loosen any more than your min weight on the limbs...a properly setup bow will be at max weight with the limb bolts bottomed out so for me and my wife we shoot mathews switchbacks and a SBXT and its 2lb per turn so for our bows it would be no more that 5 turns from bottom... that being said there are pleny of threads left inside the riser to do probably double that. now the only bows i konw of that have long enough limb bolts that u can back them down to zero lbs is oneida and thats one of the reasons we use them for bowfishing cause u can take any 70lb oneida and back them down til the limbs are just plum dang floppy... there are also youth bows like the diamond razors egde that have 30-60 limbs on them which means they have really long bolts but the manufacture will suggest not going any lower than 30lb... is your question based on safety or what it will physically do cause for safety i wouldnt recomend going much futher than manufactures spec.
