backing off poundage...
i know when i get home in about 9 days im gunna hafta back off my poundage to shoot comfortably...havent shot in 3 months and didnt shoot much a month or so before that...
before i do somethin dumb, is there some sorta stop on the limb bolts so they CANT come completely out??
im shootin an 06 reflex highlander...id like to get it down pretty close to the minimum...
if they dont have some sorta stop on them, whats the best way to back off the limbs as much as possible?? thanx...not tryin to rip my face off when a limb comes off and my bow explodes because i "thought" there was stop...
honestly im pretty sure they DONT have stops....but if they dont how can i back down safely?

RE: backing off poundage...
I would say a maximum of 3 full turns. Majority of bows 1 turn= 2.5-3 pounds. So if it were me I would not go more than 3 full turns, keep in mind however, that as you loosten your limb bolts your draw lenght may lengthen a bit. On my Bear Instinct, I backed my bow out 2 turns and I noticed my draw length was longer (more play in the string), not by much but it was a noticeable difference.
