    Turn it down too where you feel comfortable holding it back don't back it out too far could spell bad news

    3 sets of limbs. Each has a 10# weight adjustment.
    40-50
    50-60
    60-70

    Which set do you have? You can turn them all the way in and check DW. I should max out at about 60 or 70, depending on limbs. Then 10# down from there is safe to shoot. If Bears says 4 of turns from max, use that as a minimum. Most people do not have a scale. My guess is you have a 70# bow. And is Bears says 4 turns down max you are good. Mathews says "5 turns from max - approximately 10#.

    Also many scale are different/inaccurate. I had a buddy going crazy, twisting string/cable for days. He could get only get 68# out of his bow. I put on my scale it. It read 73.
