Default Adding draw weight

I believe my bow was set at 58 lbs of draw weight when i bought it, does anyone know how much weight is added with like a half of turn or a 1/4 turn, i would like to set it at like 65 lbs. Or do i just have to take it to a pro shop? Thanks

I believe 3# per full turn is the ballpark estimate.
