    I have a Mission Ballistic that I have had my archery shop just adjust when I'm there. I'm at about 64/65 and would like to max it out. Should I let my shop do it or can I do it myself and can I tell it's maxed out?

    I know this question sounds nooby but can I feel when they are fully tightened and maxed? My archery shop guys are the type of guys who bug you until they can help you.

    Don't over tighten but tighten so limbs are all the way to the riser if that makes sense.

    These guys are right. All you have to do is tighten the limb bolts until they bottom out.

    I was always under the impression that there should be a slight gap between the limb and riser? Should there be?

    I just tightened my limbs down and there is no gap. I believe that there was no gap when I got it out of the box.
