Default Increasin draw weight

I have a 2002 Magnatec and was wondering how many pounds will one rotation of the limb bolt add to my total draw weight. I know you are supposed to tighten or loosen both bolts equally but what if the tiller measurements are different? Is it ok then to do whatever you have to to one or the other?

only one way to tell, that is test the weight before and after, too many variable for a standard answer for that question. Also, Assuming you bow is in tune turn them equal times, otherwise set the tiller equal and go from there.

Each turn of the both limb bolts should add/subtract approximately 3-4 pounds from the draw weight of the bow.

As for tiller...is it a single or a dual cam bow?

If it is a single cam, it might appear to be off tiller. Run a string or straight edge from axle to axle, and make your measurements from there, not the string.
