Default How does draw weight work?

I was just wondering how tightening the limbs on a bow actually change the draw weight? Does it change your ata length and brace height when you do so? thanks-Sam

It puts more prestress on the limbs, thus more weight. The brace height and ATA should decrease, but not by any amount you're likely to be able to measure.
