[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1201364, member: 7123"] Thank you for the info, guys. What do you mean, EXACTLY, by the phrase "bottomed out"? Do you turn it a quarter turn, then measure the actually peak draw weight with your scale, then keep repeating this process until you hit the stated manufacturer draw weight, or how, exactly, are you determining just when it is 'bottomed out'? That's very helpful - does the manual actually say that? If so, is that only for Switchbacks and SBXTs, or all Matthews bows? that being the case, what would happen if you backed it out some more and shot? What negative consequences would or could happen, exactly? Interesting and thanks, but what do you mean by "back them down to zero lbs" - you mean you can undo them all the way until the string falls limp, and there's still threading left? Ahhh, cool. I see. Safety - I don't want the thing to fly apart and knock my teeth out, but I want to back it down to 55 or 60. But mainly just educate myself generally on the subject, also. Since I don't have a scale to meausure the draw weight, I don't and won't *know* when I'm at or further than the manufacturer's specs, unless the owner's manual says something like what Matthews does: 1 full turn = 2 lbs draw weight. On which makes / models can you say this about? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
